Abstract

Simple competition plate bioassays of Pichia anomala SKM-T and Galactomyces geotrichum SJM-59 were conducted to evaluate their potential as biological control agents that inhibit growth of Botrytis cinerea during post-harvest storage of strawberries (Fragaria ${\times}$ ananassa Duche, Red-Pearl). Occurrence rates of fungi on the surface of yeast-treated strawberries were evaluated during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. P. anomala SKM-T and G. geotrichum SJM-59 showed antifungal activities on agar plate, and P. anomala SKM-T maintained its desirable antifungal activity on surface of strawberries and its physicochemical properties during storage. Sensory evaluation was based on kinesthetics and consumer acceptability. Due to its potential antifungal activity, P. anomala SKM-T could function as biological control agent against spoilage fungi during post-harvest storage of strawberries.
