Abstract
Three rose apple accessions and five postharvest bagging treatments viz., Control (non-bag), unperforated low density polyethylene (LDPE) bag, perforated LDPE bag, unperforated brown paper bag, and perforated brown paper bag were evaluated for storage quality and shelf life of rose apple. Results showed that different postharvest treatments significantly influenced fruit quality and shelf life of rose apple. Changes in skin colour, weight loss, moisture, dry matter, vitamin C and pH of LDPE bagged fruits irrespective of perforation were slower than nonbagged control fruits during storage at ambient condition. The shelf life of fruit was counted until two weeks of storage. It was found that fruits stored in unperforated LDPE bag exhibited the longest shelf life (14.40 days) as compared to other treatments. The overall results expressed that rose apple quality can be maintained effectively at least six days using various bagging materials. However, it may conclude that unperforated LDPE bag could be used for extending storage life with maintaining external and internal qualities of rose apple.
