International Symposium on Postharvest Treatment of Horticultural Crops, I-II(368), 777-785.90-6605-236-80567-7572https://doi.org/10.17660/ActaHortic.1994.368.92http://hdl.handle.net/11452/21270Different hydrogen peroxide vapour applications were tested to decrease the spoilage after harvest and especially during storage, and to present a high quality product to the market for a longer time. Liquid hydrogen peroxide at 30–35 % concentration was applied for 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes after vaporizing at 30, 40 and 60 °C. The grapes were stored for 3 months in cold rooms at 0 ± 1 °C, immediately after harvest. At the end of 3 months' storage, 10 and 20 minute-applications of 40 °C vaporized hydrogen peroxide and 5 and 10 minutes applications of 60 °C vaporized hydrogen peroxide gave better results with respect to decrease in microorganisms compared with other applications. In addition, when taste and appearance were considered, a 20 minute application of 40 °C vaporized hydrogen peroxide gave better results than the others in grapes stored for 3 months.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAgricultureFood science & technologyPeroxide vaporPost-harvestHarvestProceedings PaperA1994BE01D00094777785I-II368HorticultureFood science & technologyAgronomy
