Postharvest Damage Assessment of Fresh Rose Apple in Metropolitan Bangkok

The purpose of this research was to determine postharvest damage of rose apple fruit after transport. Methodology comprised of sampling commercial packaging of two varieties of rose apple (Thongsamsri and Toonklao) at various retailers and wholesalers selected at random from around the metro politan area of Bangkok, and then conducting damage analysis. Results showed that postharvest damage featured mainly bruising and abrasion. The average damage percentage of abrasion was higher than that of the bruising at both wholesaler and retailer, and variety. The average damage percentage, and the average damage per fruit at the retailer, was greater than that at the wholesaler in Thongsamsri and Toonklao.
