The disclosure provides for compositions and methods for the preservation of meat substitutes containing plant heme protein. In particular, small molecules that can fit in the unique heme pocket of plant heme proteins are provided to stabilize and preserve meat substitutes the products.

A method for treating a substrate with a volatile liquid, crop-preservative formulation includes transporting a predetermined quantity of the formulation from a reservoir to an injection device and applying the predetermined quantity to the substrate. The substrate may thereafter be in proximity to a crop to be treated by the vapor from the formulation. The substrate is most conveniently a portion of a container in which the crop is stored or shipped.

An in-line spraying system via ultrasound, which can be used in the dispensing of agrochemical agents for post-harvest fruit, which has a spray chamber formed by a closed tank containing the liquid to be sprayed, an agitator, two ultrasound transducers and a fan; a chamber for applying the mist to the fruit, formed by a closed chamber disposed on the processing line, which has gates with slats for allowing the fruit in and out, a cylindrical applicator for the agrochemical, which is connected to the spray chamber via a duct; and a chamber for recovering the mist, formed by a closed tank coupled to the application chamber, below the Processing line, which is connected to the spray chamber via a duct, and wherein the recovered mist is moved by the fan. A process for operating the system is also disclosed.

Suggested is a synergistic antimicrobial mixture comprising a hydroxyacetophenone and one additional antimicrobial agent. The mixture is particular useful for fighting Aspergillus brasiliensis.
