Abstract

Fruits, particularly oranges, grapefruits, tangerines and lemons, and other agricultural products are treated with a phenolic mould-growth inhibitor which ordinarily tends to burn the surface of the agricultural product together with sufficient of a non-ionic suface-active agent to reduce this tendency. The phenolic substances are exemplified by phenylphenols, e.g. ophenylphenol and its sodium salt, and mono-chlorinated or mono-brominated phenylphenols. The non-ionic surface active agent may be a condensation product of an alkylene oxide with an organic compound containing a large non-polar group and an active hydrogen atom, e.g. a wool grease fatty alcohol or acid, or may be a compound having a large non-polar group, e.g. a long chain alkyl group, and an amino, amido or mercapto group. The agricultural product may be dipped in an aqueous solution or dispersion of the mould-growth inhibitor and surface-active agent, and the solution or dispersion allowed to dry. Aqueous preparations suitable for the treatment contain 0.25-1 per cent of the mould-growth inhibitor and 0.125-0.75 per cent of the surface-active agent. An ionic surface-active agent, e.g. a long chain secalkyl sulphate or a higher alkyl benzenesulphonate, may be used to assist dispersion in water of an only slightly soluble non-ionic surface-active agent. In the aqueous preparation may also be dispersed a substance such as paraffin wax, carnauba wax, beeswax or plasticized polystyrene which serves, after the drying of the preparation, to diminish evaporation of moisture from the product. Wrappers or packing materials for the agricultural products may be impregnated with a preparation of the mould-growth inhibitor and the non-ionic surface-active agent.
