Abstract
Chestnuts are gluten-free, low-fat, cholesterol-free products. Postharvest decay reduces chestnut shelf life and can cause severe economic losses. In this study we investigated the effect of ozone (O3 ) gaseous treatment on chestnut rot caused by Gnomoniopsis castanea and the quality parameters of chestnuts.
