Background
Ochratoxin A (OTA) remains a challenge in the face of continuous efforts to produce quality and wholesome wine and table grape berries to meet food safety standards. However, the use of chemicals to control postharvest diseases is a public concern with increasing consumer awareness of the dangers associated with the consumption of fungicide-treated commodities. Synthetic fungicides are well-known for their hazardous effects on human health and potential contamination to the environment. Moreover, pathogens are noted to have developed resistance to these chemicals because of their continuous use and abuse.
