Extension of Storage and Post-Storage Shelf-Life of Fig Fruit
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Uniform and healthy Fig fruit were kept inside cold room conditions and at normal room conditions (RT)and subsequent weight loss, total soluble solids (TSS), cracking of fruit (percentage), fermentation of fruit (percentage), post-storage shelf life and shelf life were measured. The fruit were collected in the morning session from Fruit Market, Pune, Maharashtra, India and then transported to the ‘Agricultural Research Laboratory’ of Ecofrost Technologies Pvt. Ltd., within 2.0 hours in an air-conditioned cab. Selected fruit of Fig were kept inside cold storage at 4°C and 93% relative humidity (RH) conditions to maintain the TSS, weight loss reduction, increase the post-storage shelf-life and pre-cooled shelf-life. The results show that keeping the fruit at 4°C and 93% RH, recorded better retention of TSS, and weight-loss reduction than normal room conditions.
