| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation entitled “Studies on storage life of ber (Ziziphus Mauritiana Lamk.) cultivars Thai Apple and Gola” was carried out at Post-harvest Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during the year 2018 to find the effect of packaging materials on shelf life of ber cultivars. The ber fruits of Thai Apple and Gola cultivar were stored for eight days at room temperature using different packaging materials viz., corrugated fiber board boxes, sealed polyethylene bags, perforated polyethylene bags, polynet and control. The data were recorded on moisture content, physiological loss in weight, decay loss, fruit firmness, specific gravity, change in colour, total soluble solids, acidity, solids to acid ratio, ascorbic acid, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugars, total sugars and organoleptic rating. The recorded data were subjected to statistical analysis using split-split design. The moisture content, specific gravity and ascorbic acid were recorded maximum in Thai Apple cultivar fruits packed in sealed polyethylene film bags at the end of storage period. The physiological loss in weight was recorded minimum in Thai Apple cultivar fruits packed in sealed polyethylene bags. The decay loss was recorded minimum in Gola fruits packed in corrugated fiber board boxes. The fruits of Thai Apple cultivar packed in corrugated fiber board boxes retained maximum firmness at the end of storage period. The Gola cultivar fruits of control treatment had maximum total soluble solids, solids to acid ratio, reducing sugars, non-reducing sugar and total sugars with minimum acidity at the end of storage period. The fruits of Gola cultivar packed in corrugated fiber board boxes also exhibited maximum organoleptic rating. Based on present study, it is concluded that the corrugated fiber board boxes were found best for reducing decay loss and maintaining quality of Gola cultivar ber fruits up to eight days under ambient room temperature conditions. | en_US |
