Abstract:
The bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a commercially important horticultural crop grown in tropical and sub-tropical areas across the world. Despite this importance, it is a perishable vegetable with a limited shelf life and high disease susceptibility. Bell pepper output has expanded significantly in recent years. However, this crop is still experiencing close to 40% postharvest losses annually. Chemical fumigation for postharvest disease control of bell pepper has been shown to be efficient against fungal infections, but environmental impact and consumption hazards limit its full use. Recently, non-chemical techniques including biological and botanical methods, non-destructive technologies and Artificial intelligence have been demonstrated to be effective as postharvest management of bell pepper. The paper provides exciting information on recent and emerging techniques for curtailing these losses in bell pepper, alongside their mechanism and existing benefits. The current limitations of these techniques as well as recommendations for potential applications are also addressed.
摘要:
甜椒(CapsicumannuumL.)是全世界热带和亚热带地区种植的重要商业园艺作物。尽管有这种重要性,它是一种易腐蔬菜,保质期有限,对疾病有很高的易感性。近年来,甜椒产量显着增加。然而,这种作物每年仍在经历近40%的采后损失。用于甜椒采后疾病控制的化学熏蒸已被证明对真菌感染有效,但是环境影响和消费危害限制了它的充分利用。最近,非化学技术,包括生物和植物方法,非破坏性技术和人工智能已被证明是有效的甜椒采后管理。本文提供了有关减少甜椒中这些损失的最新和新兴技术的令人兴奋的信息,除了他们的机制和现有的好处。还解决了这些技术的当前限制以及对潜在应用的建议。
