Abstract: Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is the most effective means of control of gray mold infection and to maintain the quality of grape. Because of SO2 residues on grape，in recent years domestic and foreign research on grape non sulfur or sulfur reducing preservative measures were reviewed，and the ice temperature storage，controlled atmosphere，ozone，coating，high voltage electrostatic field，biological control，controlled/slow release sulfur producing antistaling agent，chlorine dioxide (ClO2)，1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) preservation principle and effect of such measures were presented. In addition，different storage period of grape preservation measures and future research to further reduce the dose of SO2 and the grape harvest residues were described .
