EFFECT OF CaCl2 AND KMnO4 ON SHELF LIFE OF FIG FRUITS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 18
Abstract
Fig is subtropical fruit, hence it contains more moisture content 90 to 95%. Spoilage of fruits are more due to it’s moisture content. Hence to maintain good shelf life of fruits. Post harvest treatments of fig with different treatments were studied and results were interpreted. Treatments with different concentration of Cacl2 and KMnO4 showed significant differences between the treatments and helps to increase the storage capacity of the fruits.
