Controlled atmosphere alternatives to the post-harvest use of sulphur dioxide to inhibit the development of Botrytis cinerea in table grapes.

The effects of controlled atmosphere storage treatments on inhibiting B. cinerea development and maintaining the quality of table grapes (cv. Thompson Seedless) were compared in order to identify a treatment that could replace the use of sulfur dioxide during postharvest handling. Two experiments were conducted at 0-1 deg C over 7- and 12-week periods, respectively. The treatments that incorporated a CO2 concentration of 15-25% were most effective and suppressed infection by 95-100%. At higher concentrations, however, berry discoloration occurred. There was no significant difference between treatments for taste but fruits held in 5% O2 + 15% CO2 were liked most by panellists and matched the fresh control treatments most closely.
