dioxide, plant extracts, allyl isothiocyanate also release volatile antimicrobials
(Echegoyen and Nerín 2015). Chlorine dioxide existing in solid, liquid, gaseous
has been proven to be effective for inhibiting the growth of various fungi, bacteria,
and some viruses. It has potential applications in fish, poultry, meat, confectionerybaked foods, and dairy products (Yuyue et al. 2017). SO 2 has been used for
controlling the decomposition of grapes, has better effects over the combination of
gamma-radiation and heat treatment. The main drawback in case of SO 2 is bleaching
grape-skin and that some of it may remain on the grapes (Yuyue et al. 2017). These
residues leave a strong characteristic odor from the grapes that lead to productrejection by consumers.CO 2 possesses a major role in the packaging atmosphere for
inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and dropping the respiration rate of fruits
and vegetables. CO 2 has to release continuously into the package for maintaining the
