Respiratory behavior is an important aspect in designing and operating
systems such as controlled and modified atmosphere storage that will extend the shelf
life of the perishable produce. The respiration rate and respiratory quotient of fresh
Guava (Psidium guajava L. cv. ‘Safeda’) fruit harvested at the mature light-green stage
were determined under closed system at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 35°C (ambient)
temperatures. The respiration rate based on carbon dioxide production in aerobic
condition decreased about 46% relative to air atmosphere. However the oxygen
consumption sharply reduced to 31% relative to air atmosphere at 25°C temperature. The
results suggest that, the respiration rate of Guava increased with temperature and
decrease with storage time. Results of the study can be applied to design suitable
packaging system for shelf life extension of Guava.
