A study was conducted to assess the microbial load on lemon fruits at different postharvest handling stages. After harvesting, there are six different post-harvest handling stages were identified and they are collection, grading, packaging, transportation, wholesaler and retailer stages of fruits. And it was found that the microbial load was suddenly increases at Transportation stage and after it the microbial load continuously increases at subsequent stages i.e. at wholesaler and retailer level. Not only plant pathogenic microorganisms but also the human pathogenic microbes such as E. coli, Salmonella etc. were also found on the surface of fruits which were not found before the transportation stage. | Post-harvest losses of lemon fruits An assessment of microbial floral strength during post-harvest handling
