This study examined the impact of innovative pre-drying methods using aqueous ozone (10 min-4.1 mg O3 L\u22121) and UV-C light (30.3 kJ m\u22122 UV-C) on the incidence of Aspergillus carbonarius, as well as on air-drying kinetics and ultrastructure of epicuticular waxes in Sultanina grapes, when applied either individually or sequentially. The effect of the pre-treatments on the colour of the dehydrated grapes was also assessed. Grapes pre-treated with 30.3 kJ m\u22122 UV-C and 10 min-4.1 mg O3 L\u22121 + 30.3 kJ m\u22122 UV-C showed a lower incidence of A. carbonarius in storage at 20 \u00b1 1 \u00b0C than those exposed to aqueous ozone (30 and 8% lower infection compared to the non-pretreated fruit at 15-day storage, respectively). Although the combined pre-treatment did not significantly improve the fungus inhibition with respect to the individual UV-C application, it allowed a higher dehydration rate during the drying process at 60 \u00b1 1 \u00b0C. The drying time was reduced by ~31% compared to non-pretreated fruit, a result slightly lower than that achieved with the traditional chemical pre-treatment of ethyl oleate-K2CO3 (~39%). This enhancement in drying rate was partly attributed to marked alterations in the grape\u2019s epicuticular wax layer. UV-C and the combined pre-treatment helped in reducing the browning of raisins. Therefore, the combined application of ozone and UV-C light could be an environmentally friendly alternative for both improving the microbiological quality of grapes and accelerating the drying process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15030550","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,4]],"date-time":"2026-02-04T10:02:57Z","timestamp":1770199377000},"page":"550","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Pre-Treatments Involving Aqueous Ozone and UV-C Light Can Be Used in Raisin Production to Decrease the Incidence of Aspergillus carbonarius and Promote Drying"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8625-0219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eunice Valentina","family":"Contigiani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Tecnolog\u00eda de Alimentos y Procesos Qu\u00edmicos (ITAPROQ), Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas (CONICET), Universidad de Buenos Aires, Ciudad Universitaria, Ciudad Aut\u00f3noma de Buenos Aires C1428, Argentina"},{"name":"Departamento de Industrias, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Ciudad Universitaria, Ciudad Aut\u00f3noma de Buenos Aires C1428, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angela Roc\u00edo","family":"Romero-Bernal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Tecnolog\u00eda de Alimentos y Procesos Qu\u00edmicos (ITAPROQ), Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cient\u00edficas y T\u00e9cnicas (CONICET), Universidad de Buenos Aires, Ciudad Universitaria, Ciudad Aut\u00f3noma de Buenos Aires C1428, Argentina"},{"name":"Facultad de Ingenier\u00eda, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Ciudad Universitaria, Ciudad Aut\u00f3noma de Buenos Aires C1063, Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula Sol","family":"Pok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Tecnolog\u00eda de Alimentos, Instituto Nacional de Tecnolog\u00eda Agropecuaria (INTA), Nicolas Repetto y de los Reseros s\/n, Hurlingham B1686, Buenos Aires, Argentina"},{"name":"Facultad de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas, Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica Argentina, Av.
