Nieuwe technieken ontwikkeld voor de opslag van druiven

Researchers at the Volcani Center in Israel developed 2 methods for grape storage. The first is based on storage in cardboard boxes without liners, shortening the forced air cooling time. After cooling the pallets are wrapped around with linear low density polyethylene to contain the SO2 and the humidity.
The second method involves storage in plastic boxes with modification of dual release SO2 pads, so that the pads release a continuous low rate of SO2 for a period of over 4 months in cold storage. In this case as well, the pallet is wrapped on all sides in order to maintain the level of SO2 and high humidity. An article about the research is published in the Israel Journal of Plant Sciences.
