Rotting caused by gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) is a concerning disease for numerous crops both pre- and postharvest stages. Application of antagonistic yeasts is a promising strategy for controlling gray mold incidence which could mitigate undesirable consequences of using synthetic fungicides. In this work, a screening for detection of yeasts isolated from figs producers of antifungal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were performed by confrontation in double dishes systems. Eleven out of 34 yeasts confronted reduced B. cinerea growth parameter in vitro. This reduction was correlated (p ≤ 0.050) with the production of 10 volatile compounds: two acids (acetic acid and octanoic acid), 7 esters (Et propionate, n-Pr acetate, Iso-Bu acetate, 2-methylbutyl acetate, furfuryl acetate, phenylmethyl acetate, 2-phenylethyl acetate) and one ketone (Heptan-2-one). In bases on in vitro assay, Hanseniaspora uvarum 793 was applied to in vivo assays with strawberries and cherries. The reduction of incidence of B. cinerea in strawberries at 7°C and 25°C was 54.9 and 72.1% after 6 and 3 days, resp. The reduction of incidence of B. cinerea in cherries at 7°C and 25°C was 48.9 and 45.6% after 5 and 4 days, resp. These results showed that VOCs produced by Hanseniaspora uvarum 793 are effective in the control of incidence of Botrytis cinerea in fruits, being a potential alternative to chem. fungicide.
