Efficacy of hot water treatment for the control of postharvest fungal spoilage of chilgoza seed.

P. citrinum is the predominant fungal species associated with the seeds of chilgoza (Pinus gerardiana) causing deterioration of nutritive physico-chemical constituents. The extent of seed rot decreased with increase in temp. of hot water from 50 to 60 deg C. Seed treatment at 60 deg after 45 d of storage exhibited min. seed rot (16.05%) and max. shelling percentage (74.52). Max. oil content (47.64%) was also present in seed treated at 60 deg compared with control (40.43%). The protein content of seed treated at 50, 55 and 60 deg was at par until 30 d of storage. Significantly higher reductions in sugar content were recorded during 30-45 d than 15-30 d after storage.
