Abstract

Fruit and vegetable postharvest diseases wreak havoc on food supply and the market economy. Meanwhile, the frequent use of synthetic fungicides poses a threat to the environment and public health. Marine oligosaccharides can act as an elicitor of postharvest disease resistance in fruits and also show broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Therefore, this review focuses on the mechanism and technology of marine oligosaccharides for postharvest disease control and compares them to horticulture studies to highlight the limitations of existing research and the prospects for future study. It is critical to developing marine oligosaccharides-based products for postharvest disease control.
