Abstract/Description: | Experiment was conducted during the year 2004-05 to study the effect of different packaging materials like gunny bag, corrugated fiberboard box (CFB), pigeon pea basket, wooden crate and bamboo basket with polythene liner (PL) or newspaper liner (NPL) and control (gunny bag without any liner) for transportation and storability of ber at ambient temperature under semi- arid conditions. Increase in physiological loss in weight (PLW), spoilage percentage, total soluble solids (TSS), total and reducing sugars and decrease in acidity, ascorbic acid were general phenomena with advancement of storage period in all the treatments. Minimum spoilage loss was in fruits kept in CFB with NPL closely followed by CFB with PL. Same treatment also showed lowest respiratory activity (0.37 mg CO2 /kg/h.) and exhibited 4 days of shelf-life, while control had 2 days economic life under ambient conditions. Highest respiration rate was in control (0.60 mg CO2/kg/h.) on the last day of storage (day 7). CFB provides appropriate atmosphere and ventilation inside the box and was also found strong enough to stand heavy stack loads and can be recycled as pulp or paper. It may be concluded that CFB with NPL was most suitable and economically viable packing container during transportation of ber fruits under ambient conditions. |
