Three Decco Commercial food-grade fruit coatings WT-12, WT-22 and WT-23 controlled the fungal fruit rot of bananas in storage. However, at the lowest concentration of 0.01 cc/100 g fruits used Gloeosporium the main spoilage fungus was more effectively controlled by WT-23 than by the other two formulations and it also controlled Rhizopus and Aspergillus.
