Abstract:
Effect of different post-harvest chemical treatments combined with LDPE packaging on the moisture content of guava (cv. Lucknow-49) fruits harvested at mature green and colour turning stages was studied. Fruits were stored at low temperature (10±2 °C and 90±5 percent relative humidity) and evaluated for moisture content after 3, 6, 9 and 12 days of storage. It was observed that all the chemical treatments and packaging with LDPE were found to exhibit better effect than the control. After 12 days of storage, the moisture content was remarkably higher for Gibberellic Acid (GA3), Benzyl Adenine (BA) and Spermine (SPM) in comparison to Ca(NO3)2 and CaCl2. Among these, Spermine presented the best efficiency with minimum reduction in moisture content during the course of storage. However, MG stage fruits exhibited longer shelf life and better fruit quality compared to CT stage during storage.
