Use of Antimicrobial Modified Atmosphere Packages Against Postharvest Diseases in Table Grapes

In this study, Sultana and Red Globe grape varieties were used which produced in Alaşehir region of Manisa in 2017. Sultana (43 days) and Red Globe (72 days) grape varieties were stored in 3±0.5 °C and 90-95% relative humidity. The products were stored with 5 different modified atmosphere packings. Before storage, microbiological analysis of the products was carried out. At the end of the storage time, weight loss, decayed berries per kg, quality criteria and microbiological analysis results were determined. In addition, at the end of the storage time, decayed berries per kg of the products were determined and compared with the decay rates of the polyethylene packages and antimicrobial packages which were also used in the study. Also, the quality criteria of the products, rachis browning, berries color changing, taste changing were determined. The antimicrobial package used in the research and the combination of this package with ¼ SO2 generator and antimicrobial films have been found to affect the quality criteria assessed in the study at different levels but generally reduce product decay. As a result of the research, it was determined that packages with antimicrobial capability could be used instead of classic polyethylene SO2 generator combinations.
