Özet

This research was carried out to determine the effects of slow-release SO2 generators on the storability of the table grape cultivar Muskule grown in Turkey. Muskule was harvested from the Iznik region and transported to cold storage facilities at the University of Ankara. After transport, grapes were pre-cooled, and slow-release SO2 generators were placed in the boxes. Grapes were stored at 0 degrees C and 90% to 95% relative humidity. The experiment was conducted in randomized plot design. Flavor, stem and berry color, total soluble solid content, titratable acidity: SO2 residue, decay rate, and weight loss were measured at 15-day intervals in order to determine the effects of slow-release SO2 generators on storability of Muskule. The results show that Muskule could be well-stored for 120 days with slow-release SO2 generators + unperforated polyethylene (6-, 8-, and 10-kg/fruit box) and slow-release SO2 generators + perforated polyethylene (10 kg treatments).
