The findings of the present study not only confirm the high potentiality of biofumigation with respect to extending the shelf-life of fruit, but also provide some insight regarding the mechanisms of action of AITC at the cellular level as a possible elicitor of fruit protective responses. Nevertheless, the nature of the AITC-adducts formed in fruit tissues needs further attention to enable a health and safety assessment of the final fruit. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
