Description Extension of shelf life by coating guava fruits var. banaras with fungicidal (sodium orthophenylphenate 0.5%)/sugar cane wax emulsion (6 parts refined sugar-cane wax, 2 parts triethanolamine and 1 part oleic acid) containing 8 and 12% solids respectively was examined. After dipping, fruits were dried in hot air (100-120 degree F) for 1 min, kept in wooden crates at 72-95 degree F with an RH of 55-87%. The data obtained indicated that treated guavas could be stored for more than 7 days at room temp. (72-95 degree F) as compared with over 4 days for the untreated control. Progressive delay of ripening of the fruit which had been coated was also noted. Of the 2 concn. tried, 12% emulsion showed least physiological losses in wt. and wastage.
