| dc.description | The postharvest losses of fresh fruit are one of the problems of the fruit industry, especially in the tropical countries like India. A huge quantity goes waste due to lack of proper Post harvest handling and storage. In addition to the physical losses in quantity, serious losses also occur in the essential nutrients notably, vitamins, minerals and ultimately the fruit quality. Therefore, it becomes essential to arrest or lower down these losses, so that the utility of inputs invested to produce the fruits remains high. Such an attempts also prevent seasonal market gluts, helps in orderly marketing, provides sufficient surplus for export and ensures better return to growers. Prolongation of shelf life of banana may be done by some techniques like using packaging materials, chemicals, hot water, fungicide, ethylene absorbent and growth regulators which are usually employed for this purpose in the developed countries. It has been reported that ripening of banana can be delayed by the use of chemicals like GA3, Kinetin, BA, Benlate and ethylene absorbent. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The present study entitled “Effect of postharvest treatments and storage conditions on shelf life of banana” was carried out during 2016-17 at Department of Horticulture, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola to study the effect of postharvest treatments and storage conditions on physico-chemical properties and shelf life of banana to find out suitable postharvest treatment and storage condition for improving the shelf life of banana. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Completely Randomized Design with three factors viz., factor A, at two levels storage condition viz., S1 :cold storage (150 C± 1), S2 : ambient storage, factor B ,at two levels of chemical treatment viz., C1 : GA3 150 ppm, C2 : benzyl adenine 30 ppm, factor C at two levels of packaging material viz., P1 : perforated low density polyethylene bag (LDPE), P2: perforated high density polyethylene bag ( HDPE) under three replications and eight treatments combinations. During storage better physico-chemical properties of fruits viz., maximum weight of peel, weight of pulp, pulp to peel ratio, peel thickness, pulp thickness, pulp firmness and highest shelf life and minimum physiological weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, non-reducing sugars, reducing sugars, total sugars were recorded in fruits stored in cold storage (150C± 1). In respect of post harvest treatments of chemical treatment, it was observed that physico-chemical properties of fruits i.e. maximum weight of peel, weight of pulp, pulp to peel ratio, pulp firmness, peel thickness, pulp thickness and minimum physiological weight loss, total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, non-reducing sugars, reducing sugars, total sugars were found in fruits treated with GA3150ppm. Regarding packaging material, it was observed that physico-chemical properties of fruits i.e. maximum weight of peel, weight of pulp, pulp to peel ratio, pulp firmness, peel thickness, pulp thickness and minimum physiological weight loss, total soluble solids, total titratable acidity, non-reducing sugars, reducing sugars, total sugars were found fruits packed in perforated low density polyethylene bag. The interaction effect between storage condition, chemical treatment and packaging material on physical and chemical properties of the fruits was found significant .The present study revealed that, better physical and chemical properties of fruit with maximum shelf life were found in fruits stored in cold storage (150C±1), treated with GA3150ppm packed in perforated low density polyethylene bag. | en_US |
