The shelf-life of Thompson Seedless grape with different harvesting stages (ripeness) was evaluated to know the correct stage of harvesting. The green berries with 20°Brix had more shelf-life by recording least PLW, lowest number of fallen berries and rotten berries up to 5 days in shelf. Hence, optimum stage of harvesting Thompson Seedless grape for export to the UK or European countries is at 20°Brix of green berries.
