Abstract

The effect of prepacking Coorg oranges before storing at rooDl temperature and at optimum cold store conditions has been studied. The results indicate that under ambient conditions (26-30°C and 30 to 60 per cent RH) without any packaging, unwaxed, waxed and wiped oranges could be stored for 7, 9 and 12 days, as against 16, 18 and 20 days in ventilated polyethylene bags of 200 lauge, and 22 days when wrapped in diphenyl treated paper. In optimum cold storage (4-SoC and 85-9S pel" cent RH), unwaxed fruits had a shelf-life of 21 months and waxed fmits, 3 IDonths. In ventilated polyethylene bags with fruits wrapped in diphenyl treated paper, the shelf-life was 4t months.
