Effect of different packing methods on grapes quality [electronic resource].

Includes references.

Grape occupies the first rank in the world in terms of cultivated area and in terms of production. Grapes are very perishable commodities. The main of study is the methods of packaging and of special cooling are essential for the delivery of table grapes in optimum conditions. In this study used two kinds of grapes: - 1)Sugraone Seedless:- It is a white seedless. and 2}Flame Seedless:-It is a red seedless. And used 3 methods ofpacking: -1) Grapes bag. 2) LifeSpan (Modified Atmosphere Packing), and 3) LifeSpan and Sulfur Dioxide Pad. Measurements the properties which the quality of grapes depend on its like Total Soluble Solids (T.S.S %). total acidity, weight losses. shatter percentage, brown + rots percentage and diameter .storage grapes at Maintaining a low temperature is a primary consideration in securing cooling of grapes it's 1±1. However, maintaining a high relative humidity of 95% and above during the storage is very _important to minimize moisture loss and keep the stems in good condition and green. From this experiential found that used LifeSpan (Modified Atmosphere Packing) and S02 is very suitable to storage white grapes seedless (Sugraone Seedless) until 50 days. However, Use LifeSpan (Modified Atmosphere Packing) and S02 is unsuitable to storage red grapes seedless (Flame Seedless) until 50 dayss because the color is removal with long storage period. Use LifeSpan (Modified Atmosphere Packing) is suitable to storage red grapes seedless. Keyword:- Grape- Modified Atmosphere Packing- Quality
