Research Progress on Microbial Antagonist Control of Biological Preservation of Fruits and Vegetables

Antagonistic microorganisms have the advantages of natural, eco-friendly, safety and efficiency, which have been focused by researches on the research and application of fresh fruits and vegetables. Antagonistic microorganisms can reduce the post-harvest decay loss of fruits and vegetables, and have been developed as various biological agents for industries. This paper reviewed the mechanism of action, screening methods and research of antagonistic microorganisms of fruits and vegetables in recent years, and summarized the control and prevention of antagonistic microorganisms in fruits and vegetables, meanwhile, the existing problems and prospects of antagonists were analyzed in this review.
