| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation was carried out at the Post Harvest Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture at CCS Haryana Agricultural University during the year 2005. The main objective was to enhance the shelf-life of pear fruits of varieties i.e. Patharnakh, Kashmiri Nakh and Baggugosha under zero energy chamber using different types of packaging materials viz., corrugated fibre board boxes, polyethylene bags of individual fruit packing (0.01 mm and 0.05 mm) and polyethylene bags of 1 kg capacity (.0.01 mm and 0.05 mm). PE 0.01 mm of individual fruit packing at zero energy chamber storage was most effective in checking the PLW and decay loss. There was continuous decrease in firmness, specific gravity, acidity, ascorbic acid and chlorophyll content irrespective of the packaging treatments. However, TSS, sugars and carotenoids content showed an increasing trend. Penicillium sp., Physalospora sp. and Botrytis sp. were the main causal organism responsible for the decay. Among different varieties Patharnakh was found to have longer shelf-life on PLW and decay loss basis and out of different packaging materials, pear fruit packed in PE 0.01 mm and PE 0.05 mm of individual fruit packing at zero energy chamber storage were the best in maintaining physical, biochemical and pathological parameters up to 10th day of storage. Whereas, maximum degradation of fruits was found in CFB boxes stored at room temperature. | en_US |
