EFFECT OF POST HARVEST TREATMENTS ON SHELF LIFE AND QUALITY OF BANANA CV. GRAND NAINE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 61
Abstract
The present study was undertaken at Post Harvest Laboratory, Dr. Y.S.R Horticultural University, Hyderabad during 2014 and 2015 to envisage the effect of different chemicals and growth regulators in post harvest life of banana cv. Grand Naine where fruits were subjected to ten treatments with different concentration of GA3, BA, CaCl2 and Control (without any treatment) and replicated thrice. Fruits are treated in different chemicals/growth regulator delayed colour, texture, pulp to peel ratio and total soluble solids (TSS) content as compared to openly kept control banana. But, fruits treated with GA3 150ppm (Dipping) recorded significantly lowest PLW (2.52 %) by maintaining significant amount of TSS (119.91o B), Brix-acid ratio (36.88%) and total sugars (16.50%), reducing sugar (7.72%) and non-reducing sugar (8.78%)in longest storage observation (on day 15) with a maximum shelf life up to 20.23 days compared to 9 days only for untreated fruits.
