DETERMINATION OF SUITABLE PRE-STORAGE TREATMENT FOR BANANA IN COLD STORAGE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 54
Abstract
The purpose of the experiment is to investigate the best suited pre-storage treatment among T1 (Packaging the produce without pre-packaging material + CFB (Corrugated Fibre Board) boxes)), T2 (Washing with water + Packaging in LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene film) + CFB), T3 (Dipping in sodium hypochlorite solution (0.1 ppm) + Packaging in LDPE + CFB boxes). Firm ripe fruits of banana were selected for the investigation. After suitable pre-storage treatment the fruits were kept in cold storage (12±1 °C and 85-90% RH). T3 had retained most of the biochemical parameters such as total soluble solids (21.22 °Brix), pH (4.91) and mean score for appearance (8.0). Minimum weight loss of 0.693% in T3 was observed as against 0.865 % in T2 and 2.259 in T1. Maximum colour retention was noticed in case of T3 followed by T2 and T1.
