Laboratory, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Latur, V.N.M.K.V., Parbhani (M.S). During the Kharif season of 2021, fruit crops were chosen, and study was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and nine treatments. Study resulted that, treatment T₄- calcium nitrate @1.5% found significant for chemical parameters such as maximum TSS (9.53%), minimum acidity (0.41%) maximum reducing sugar (4.85%), maximum non-reducing sugar (3.73%), maximum total sugar (8.58%), maximum ascorbic acid (168.98mg/100gm), maximum TSS: Acid ratio (13.91), minimum PLW (13.30%) minimum Spoilage percentage (32.41%) and maximum Shelf life (8.33 days) at 9^th day of storage, whereas, control treatment was inferior among all treatments at ambient storage condition.
