Grape Sulfur Pad

One of the most common diseases that agricultural products can be contaminated with after harvest is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea, which leads to the development of gray mold on the products and their deterioration. This fungus can infect over 200 plant species, but it causes the most damage to strawberries and grapes. In the past, sulfur burners and the generation of sulfur dioxide gas were used to prevent fungal decay in cold storage rooms. However, these sulfur-based materials had a significant impact on the taste and color of grapes, and their combination with other gases in the air caused disruptions in the functioning of refrigerator electronics. As a result, sulfur pads became the alternative method for preserving grapes. Grape sulfur pads are produced according to the highest and most precise standards in terms of raw materials, processes, and final products. The pads are made up of several layers of specialized paper that, upon contact with moisture, release sulfur dioxide gas (a disinfectant gas) and prevent decay caused by fungi. These pads have micro-pores that facilitate the release of sulfur dioxide gas.
