Production of volatile organic compounds by Aureobasidium pullulans as a potential mechanism of action against postharvest fruit pathogens

- Aureobasidium VOCs controlled five fruit postharvest pathogens.
- Significant pathogen inhibition was obtained in vitro and in vivo tests.
- VOCs produced in NYDA medium were identified by solid phase micro extraction (SPME).
- Authentic standard chemicals were used to determined EC50 values.
