dia mL1 24 h prior to microwave treatment. Fruit was incubated for 5 days at 20 #C and 85% RH. Brown rot incidence in untreated fruit was 86 and 40% in the first and the second experiment, respectively. External visual appearance was not affected by any microwave treatments. Means with the same letter for each experiment are not significantly different (P 0.05) according to LSD test.
The scientists conclude highlighting the need of further investigations on microwave heating that is responsibl
