Özet
Reliable knowledge on postharvest technology of table grapes could be an invaluable aid in maintenance of quality of commodities. For reasonably concrete estimates of postharvest preservation of produces, attention has to be devoted to harvesting and packaging strategies, effectiveness of various chemicals, and consideration of residuals of applications. A number of studies are currently available for the investigation of certain methods or applications to supply the grape year-round. Our literature investigations reveal that worldwide studies in postharvest preservation of grapes still rely on the methodology based on sulphur dioxide (SO2) releasing pads. In spite of its excellent responses to control decay, SO2 fumigation is becoming very restrictive in most countries since SO2 residues are dangerous to people allergic to sulphites and may cause injuries to the rachis and berries. Thus present interest centers on the use healthy materials with safe, simple, and innovative technology. Results of recent studies indicate that there are many tools most of which promise better results as alternative to SO2. Especially, heat treatments, modified atmosphere packaging, ethanol, ozone, and chitosan (a natural polysaccharide) applications would be considered as healthy approaches when correctly used. Moreover, researchers usually recommended the use of combined tools to obtain better results.
