The interaction between treatments and storage period on acidity was found to be significant. Significantly lowest Brix-acid ratio was recorded in Polypropylene bags with 50 pores(T₅) (140.95).But it was on par with treatment T₃.Highest brix-acid ratio was observed in T₆ (191.93) which was on par with T₇.

Polypropylene bags without Pores (T₇) was recorded highest reducing pores (T₇) was recorded highest reducing sugars (13.89) which was significantly superior over rest of treatment and significantly lowest reducing sugars was recorded in T₃ (11.44).

The interaction between Treatment X Storage periods on reducing sugar was significant. Polypropylene bags with 60 pores (T₆) recorded significantly highest non reducing sugars (2.77) and significantly lowest non reducing sugar was recorded by treatment (T₈) (0.74).

Significantly highest Ascorbic acid was recorded in treatment T₃ (35.00) The interaction effect between Treatment and storage period on Ascorbic acid of Custard apple fruits was found to be significant.
