Abstract:
The present study was undertaken with the aim of investigating the isolation and identification of micro-organisms from spoiled citrus fruit samples collected from domestic market of Akola. Four fungi and three bacteria which caused spoilage of citrus fruit were isolated from samples. The fungal pathogens such as Aspergillus spp. Penicillium spp. Rhizop-mucor spp. Mucor spp. and bacterial pathogens were found as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella typhi. Interestingly essential oil showed the antimicrobial activity against all microbial isolates tested. The obtained results indicate that the developed edible coatings could maintain the post-harvest parameters of the tested samples, also leading to their shelf life prolongation.
