(17.64%) and maximum marketable fruits retained (80.85%), minimum unmarketable fruits
(19.45%), maximum marketable fruits retained over control (80.85%) total soluble solids
(35oBrix), ascorbic acid (44.13 mg/100g pulp), acidity (0.17%), reducing sugar (13.96%),
non-reducing (11.04%) and total sugar (25%) of fruits. Similarly, application of this paraffin
