| dc.description.abstract | The Present investigation was. carried out to study the shelf life of fig fruits. Owing to its short shelf life of 3 to 4 days, different gauge of polyethylene covers with or without ventilation were used and the best treatment among these was used along with ethylene absorbent and calcium chloride. Fruits stored in 200 gauge polyethylene cover with 1 per cent ventilation have recorded least PLW (0.58%), spoilage (12.86%) and highest acidity (0.23%) and recorded shelf life of 8 days with higher scores for organoleptic characters. 200 gauge polyethylene cover with 1 per cent ventilation was used in the continued part of the study where in chemicals like KMn04 and CaCl2 (1 and 2%) were used for the improving shelf life of fig fruit. Two per cent KMn04 along with 200 gauge polyethylene cover • with 1 per cent ventilation treatment recorded least PLW (1%), spoilage (9.12%) and highest TSS (15.20%), titratable acidity (0.12%), total sugar (17.03%) and reducing sugars (13.71%). Fruits recorded maximum shelf life of 10.66 days and better organoleptic characters like taste, appearance and overall acceptance of fruit thereby helped in increasing shelf life. Fig fruits were stored for longer time (10.66 days) when the fruits were treated with 2% KMn04 & 2% CaCl2 & stored in 200 gauge ventilated polyethylene cover. | en_US |
