Abstract:
The potential of different treatments viz T1-Zeolite-LDPE composite bag, T2-Silver-zeolite-LDPE composite bag, T3-Chlorine-zeolite-LDPE composite bag, T4- Zeolite-LDPE composite bag + CFB, T5- Silver-zeolite-LDPE composite bag + CFB, T6-Chlorine-zeolite-LDPE composite bag + CFB, T7-Only CFB, T8 – Common polybag and T9 – Control on storage behaviour of acid lime fruits was carried out in Department of Post-harvest Technology, College of Horticulture, Bagalkot during the year 2018-19. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications. The main objective was to find out the effective packaging material to extend the shelf life of acid lime fruits. Various physico-chemical quality traits were recorded at regular interval during storage of fruits in refrigerated condition. Fruits placed in Chlorine-zeolite-LDPE composite bag + CFB (T6) showed maximum titratable acidity (7.01%), juice percentage (51.24%) and minimum PLW (14.21%), fruit decay (24.11%) and highest sensory scores among the treatments during storage of 80 days.
