Three extract concentrations for each plant were assayed, corresponding to 0.170,
0.340, and 0.510 g dry matter/mL and to 0.125, 0.250, and 0.500 g dry matter/mL for S. minor and O.
crenata, respectively. At the lowest and the highest concentrations tested, S. minor extract was able to
inhibit rot development in stored fruit by 79 and 89%, respectively, with an efficacy comparable to that of
CaCl2 and NaHCO3; for O. crenata extract such inhibition ranged between 64 and 76%, respectively. A dose
effect was observed only for O
