Effect of chlorine dioxide gas treatment on Surface sterilization of grape

摘要

Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of concentration and duration of chlorine dioxide gas treatment on Surface sterilization of grape at 25°C. The results showed that the values of inactivate bacterial log reduction of Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium and alternaria increased with the increasing of ClO_2 gas concentrations and treatment time. When the concentrations and treatment time was about 10 mg/m~3 and 30 minutes, respectively, more than 4 log reduction was obtained for the three spoilage bacteria on grape surface. Furthermore, the effect of chlorine dioxide gas treatment on quality of grape was investigated.
