Abstract

Experiments were undertaken to determine the optimum packaging conditions for guava fruit stored at room temp. (75-90 degree F). Wt. loss and a colour ripening index were used to assess the fruit. 100 gauge and 200 gauge polyethylene bags with and without vents were used. The other experimental variable used was the coating of the fruit with carnauba/paraffin wax. It was found that prepackaging in 100 gauge polyethylene without vents had the best effect on retarding the rate of respiration and ripening. Coating of the fruit further retarded the rate of respiration and ripening, and increased shelf life.
