Abstract:
This study was carried out to examined the effects of different packaging materials on qualitative attributes and shelf life of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Malihabadi during storage with administered to 9 packaging treatments such as (T₁- Control ‘without packaging’, T₂- Fruits packed in LDPE ‘25 micron’, T₃- Fruits packed in LDPE ‘25 micron’ with 0.50% perforation, T₄- Fruits packed in LDPE ‘25 micron’ with 0.75% perforation, T₅- Fruits packed in LDPE ‘25 micron’ with 1.0% perforation, T₆- Fruits packed in polypropylene bag, T₇- Fruits packed in polypropylene bag with 0.50% perforation, T₈- Fruits packed in polypropylene bag with 0.75% perforation and T₉- Fruits packed in polypropylene bag with 1.0% perforation).The results obtained revealed that fruits packed in polypropylene bag with 0.75% perforation is a very good performs at 15 days storage period among all the treatments. The shelf life up to 15 days at ambient condition whereas the shelf life of control treatment was 15 days in respect to TSS (^oBrix), Titratable acidity (%), Total Soluble Solid (TSS): Titratable acidity ratio, Ascorbic acid (mg/100 ml), pH and Organoleptic parameter (color, taste, mouth-feel and overall acceptability).
