    The present investigation entitled “Effect of different packaging materials on quality and shelf life of Kinnow Mandarin (Citrus reticulata Blanco)" was conducted at Post Harvest Technology and Biochemistry Laboratory, College of Horticulture, BUAT., Banda (U.P.) during the academic year 2020-21. Packaging treatments include T1 (Control or no packaging), T2 (Fruits packed in LDPE 25 micron), T3 (Individual fruits wrapped in news paper and packed in LDPE 25 micron), T4 (Fruits packed in brown paper bags), T5 (Individual fruits wrapped in news paper and packed in brown paper bags), T6 (Fruits packed in Corrugated Fiber Board boxes), T7 (Individual fruits wrapped in news paper and packed in Corrugated Fiber Board boxes), T8 (Fruits packed in perforated brown paper bags), T9 (Fruits packed in perforated LDPE 25 micron). The physio-chemical and organoleptic evaluation of the fruits of each treatment was done upto 45 days and all the observations were recorded at every 15 days interval. The PLW (%) and Volume loss (%) were recorded lowest in the fruits packed in T6 during storage which were (0.099) and (0.226) respectively. Total soluble solids and total sugar contents had increasing trend during storage period and found highest (12.533) and (10.013) in T1 and T2 respectively at 45 days while ascorbic acid and titrable acidity had decreasing trend and mean value was found highest (12.277) and (0.820) in T4 and T8 respectively during storage . On the basic of microbial count by TPC and organoleptic evaluation nine point hedonic rating scale, it was concluded that kinnow fruits packed under Corrugated Fiber Board boxes scored highest overall acceptability at 45 days of storage.
