Antimicrobial Protection of Moisturized Deglet Noor Dates

Abstract
The growth of Saccharomyces rouxii and Saccharomyces mellis, which are two of the main spoilage organisms of dates, can be inhibited by various treatments. The most effective treatment found in this study that did not affect flavor consisted of a predip of the dates in 2% potassium sorbate solution followed by injection of methyl bromide into the sealed package.
