Abstract:
The current study reported that fruits were treated with K2SO4 (2%) + Butter Paper Bag i.e. T2 were observed superior quality in physical parameters like maximum average weight (222.83 g), fruit length (11.44 cm), fruit diameter (11.33 cm), fruit firmness (11.60 N), weight of pulp (172.07 g), volume of fruit (225.77 ml), minimum insect damage observed (6.63%) and minimum spotted fruit observed (6.63%). Chemical parameters like total soluble solids (11.67 ̊ Brix), reducing sugar (5.73%), non- reducing sugar (5.40%), total sugar (11.33%), vit C content (225.33%), acidity (0.31%). Overall findings of this investigation revealed that use of K2SO4 (2%), KNO3 (2%) and butter paper bagging provide superior quality fruits.
