Abstract:BACKGROUNDThe ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B) radiation can alter grape metabolism during berry development, but little is known on the effect of postharvest UV‐B exposure. In this study, we evaluated the effect of postharvest UV‐B exposure on berry primary and secondary metabolites in four grapevine varieties (Aleatico, Moscato bianco, Sangiovese, and Vermentino) in order to evaluate the possibility to increase the grape quality and its nutraceutical properties.RESULTSThe treatment did not significantly affect the berry… Show more
