Abstract
The semi-arid region of Paraíba is known for the expansion of cultivated areas and agricultural produce, and the high yields and the quality of grapes. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality table grapes for classification purposes according to the physical and physicochemical characteristics marketed in a local fair in the city of Areia - PB. The work was developed at the Laboratory of Technology of Agricultural Products (LPTA), Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), Center of Agricultural Sciences (CCA), Campus II, Areia-PB. Table grapes were purchased at the free fair in the municipality of Areia. Two clusters were selected and analyzed according to the Standardization Primer and Classification of the Brazilian Program for Modernization of Horticulture, identifying the group, subgroup, class, subclass, category and the presence of defects (severe or mild). According to the evaluations carried out from the standardization primer, the fruits were slightly damage and/but not changing in their post-harvest quality. The fruits were classified according to commercial standards and suitable for human consumption.
