Abstract:
An experiment was carried out to study the effect of surface coatings and storage conditions on quality and shelf life of Pomegranate during 2018-19 at College of Horticulture, SKLTSHU, Rajendranagar. The experiment was conducted in factorial completely randomized design with two factors Factor one includes surface coatings and factor two consists of storage conditions. With respect to physical parameters, among the treatments, C4-Chitosan 2% recorded lowest Physiological loss in weight (15.550%) highest firmness of fruit (5.400), lowest spoilage (43.232%) followed by C3-Chitosan 1%. Highest shelf life (30.650 days) was recorded in C4-chitosan (2%) which was at par with C3-chitosan 1% (29.667 days) and lowest shelf life (17.750 days) was recorded in C9-without any treatment.

With respect to quality parameters, C4-Chitosan 2% recorded highest Total soluble solids (11.743 oB), lowest acidity (0.380%) followed by C5- Guar gum 1% (11.552 oB), (0.393%) respectively. C4-Chitosan 2% recorded highest total sugars, ascorbic acid content (4.250%) (7.897 mg/100 g) followed by C3-Chitosan 1% (4.037%) (7.888 mg/100 g) and lowest was recorded in C9- Control. Among the treatments Chitosan 2% cold storage is best followed by Chitosan 1%. Among both storage conditions fruits stored in cold storage (5 ºC) gave better results in terms of shelf life and quality. With respect to the interaction effect of surface coatings and storage conditions, Chitosan 2% + cold storage (5 ºC) was superior of all the treatments in terms of shelf life (41.533 days) and quality parameters followed by Chitosan 1% + cold storage over control fruits stored at room temperature (18.337 days).
