Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar

Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

    Studies on shelf life of sapota (Manilkara zapota (L.) van royen) cv. cricket ball
    (CCSHAU, 2013) Pahel, Pankaj; Devi Singh
    The experiment entitled “Studies on shelf life of sapota (Manilkara zapota (L.) Van Royen) cv. Cricket Ball” was conducted in Post-harvest Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during 2012-13. The fruits were collected from the orchard of Department of Horticulture, Hisar and from the orchard of the College of Agriculture, Kaul (Kaithal). Fruits collected from Kaul were transported to Hisar and were used for the experiment. The sapota fruits were stored for eight days at room temperature after using two wrapping methods, i.e., individual wrapping and lining and four different wrapping materials, viz., newspaper, cling film and polyethylene of 0.05 and 0.1 mm thickness. The observations were recorded on various physiological and quality parameters on 0th, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th day of storage. The PLW and decay loss (%) increased with the increasing period of storage up to 8th day of storage. There was no decay loss observed on 2nd day of storage. The PLW was more in individually wrapped fruits than in lining, while the decay loss (%) was more in lining than in individually wrapped fruits. More PLW and decay loss (%) was observed in transported sapota fruits than the fruits used directly for storage. Fruit firmness (kg/cm2), acidity (%), ascorbic acid content (mg/100 g) and non-reducing sugars decreased up to 8th day of storage. Total soluble solids (ºBrix), total sugars and reducing sugars (%) increased with the increasing period of storage up to 6th day of storage and thereafter decreased slightly. Organoleptic rating increased up to 4th day of storage and decreased thereafter up to 8th day of storage. It could be inferred that fruits wrapped individually in cling film and newspaper were suitable for reducing decay loss and maintaining quality.
