Non chemical postharvesting treatments and optimization of a "green" protocol for long storage and long distances transport, incluiding overseas, for citrus.

Objective

Most of trade, in the European market, is performed through long distances. For fresh fruits, citrus in concrete, it leads to long storage and long distance transport. Long storage and long distance transport replies the use of appropriate technologies as refrigeration and the use of chemical fungicides to avoid decay. On the other hand, customer is day to day more concerned about environmental risks and particularly about chemical pollution in food, as pesticides traces, etc. Nowadays the amount of commercialised citrus under "green" philosophy is irrelevant, due to decay. As consequence of this, most of citrus traded under long distances transport are treated with synthetic fungicides. When aggressive marketing efforts have been done in supermarkets the percentage of decay it has become unproved table. However, if we may have natural fungicides, no chemicals, with enough performance it is practically sure that market would change 180°. We propose a strategy to do it.
