This study evaluated the performance of chitosan at different concentrations alone, and in combination with a biocontrol yeast Cryptococcus laurentii and calcium chloride in control of the blue mold decay in pear fruit. The results showed that efficacy of chitosan in inhibiting blue mold decay in pear fruit decreased as the incubation time increased. Chitosan at 0.5% or above delayed the rapid growth of C. laurentii, nevertheless, it enhanced remarkably mold decay control when in combination with C. laurentii. Moreover, addition of calcium chloride the mixture of C. laurentii and chitosan further enhanced the decay control, although calcium chloride had little antifungal activity. Therefore, a combination of chitosan with C. laurentii and calcium chloride provides a great new potential for development of effective alternative approach to inhibit the blue mold decay especially in an integrated postharvest diseases management strategy.

Keywords:chitosan; Cryptococcus laurentii; calcium chloride; Penicillium expansum; pear fruit
