Because the Antimold sachets are a more practical and safer
method, they are a good candidate as an alternative to SO2-
generating pads to prevent decay of grapes for short term storage.
Further studies are needed to investigate the combined effect of Antimold sachets and high CO2 in controlling fungal decay
with MAP bags, which have a lower gas permeability and higher
water vapor permeability, to extend storage periods. In this study,
high natural contamination rates in the vineyard greatly influenced
disease incidence and severity. Therefore, further studies
should include better control pre-harvest infection of the grapes
to increase efficacy of postharvest treatments.
