A non-pathogenic microbes B.subtilis which produces exopolysaccharides can be used to prevent the fruits and vegetables from various biotic and abiotic stresses which increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of storage temperature of, pH, Titratable Acidity, Brix % Weight loss % and Decay percentage (%) for the production of EPS EPS 1% & EPS 5% have antibacterial effect and have been proved to increase the shelf life of grapes with and without the combination of Aloe vera. The brix% of the coated grapes at room temperature was higher than at 4°C. Aloe vera 20% + EPS 1% treatment has given a satisfactory result by retarding the ripening process compared to other treatments. Aloe vera 20% + EPS 1% was found to be best as the decay was too less on comparing with the other treatments in different storage temperatures.
