Effect of Sulfur Dioxide Fumigation on Survival of Foodborne Pathogens on Table Grapes Under Standard Storage Conditions

Objective

1. Determine the effect of SO2 fumigation on the survival of common foodborne pathogens under in vitro conditions. 2. Determine the best inoculum concentration of bacterial pathogens and their survival on table grapes. 3. Examine the effect of SO2 on the survival of foodborne pathogens on freshly harvested California table grapes.
