A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF POSTHARVEST TREATMENTS FOR QUALITY RETENTION IN TABLE GRAPES

Table grapes are gaining popularity due to their appealing attributes and nutritional value. In recent years, new seedless varieties and unique flavors have become available worldwide, further increasing their demand. This highlights the need for advanced postharvest treatments to maintain fruit quality. Despite this, our understanding of the biochemical and molecular processes underlying quality improvements remains limited. This review explores the current literature on these mechanisms, focusing particularly on the molecular pathways that influence and regulate the effectiveness of various postharvest treatments aimed at enhancing table grape quality.
