摘要:In this work we investigated the possibilities of freezing preservation of Müşküle, Sultana and Irikara table grape varieties. The grape samples were pretreated with the chemicals of 3 antioxidant, 3 antimicrobial and 1 antitranspirant and filled into polyethylene-lined fiberboard containers holding 0.5 kg of fruit before freezing. The samples were frozen at –25 oC and stored at –18 oC for six months. The freezing rates of Müşküle, Irikara and Sultana varieties were 4.61 mm/h, 4.46 mm/h and 10.9 mm/h respectively. The results and discussion of the general analyses made at the beginning and after storing have been given inside. Enzymatic browning was not seen on the samples of Müşküle variety for 4 hours after thawing. This period was 3 hours for the samples of Sultana. So it was necessary to use up these varieties within these periods. The samples of Irikara variety had a natural fresh grape appearance for a longer period. No beneficial effect of the chemicals used for pretreatment has been seen. Only water loss was slightly lower with the samples treated with the antitranspirant substance.
