Histochemical Structure of Grape Berry
Abstract
Grape berries are highly complex and multi-way biochemical units. During development and ma- turation period, they undergo consecutive modi cations in terms of size, composition, color, texture, avor and aroma. By intake water, sugars, organic acids, vitamins and minerals, grape berries accumulate these and synthesize phenolic compounds and aromatic substances. Nowadays, structural conditions and chemical properties of cells and tissues contained grape berries can be exposed by histochemical studies. Histological and histochemical cons- tructions of grape berry cells bring berry tissues in different characteristics. Therefore, histochemical investigations have important information for understanding and determining of quality characteristics. The aim of this review is to present the literature based on histologic and histochemical knowledge to clarify relationships between berry and quality.
