Resumen
There are ever increasing numbers of antimicrobial compounds available as treatments to extend shelf-life of minimally processed fruits and to control postharvest decay on fresh market fruit. Most microorganisms are controlled by specific compounds or groups of compounds; to ascertain which compounds would be useful on a specific organism requires screening many different antimicrobials. A small, moist chamber system was developed that allows for rapid evaluation of many compounds and their efficiencies to control a specific organism or group of organisms.
