In experiment 1, fresh, mature fruits were harvested and packed in various containers; gunny bag, bamboo basket, wooden box, wire-bound wooden box or corrugated paper box. The fruit was transported 600 km by road or rail then kept at room temperature for 10 days. In experiment 2, freshly harvested fruits were dipped for 2 min in different fungicides: benomyl, TBZ [thiabendazole] or Bavistin [carbendazim] each at 200 p.p.m., or in water. The fruits were surface dried and either packed in perforated wooden boxes using newspaper as a lining or stored in a modified atmosphere by enclosing in polyethylene bags, then held at room temperature or in cold stores at 0 deg C. Physical, qualitative, pathological and economic observations were made on fruits from both experiments. Weight loss was least when fruits were packed in corrugated paper boxes and greatest for those packed in gunny bags. The wired and corrugated boxes were best for fruit firmness. Mechanical injury during transport was greatest withthe gunny bags and for fruit transported by rail; this was reflected in the greater level of decay after storage with these treatments. Organoleptic ratings and chemical composition were not affected by any treatments. Modified atmosphere storage reduced weight loss at both temperatures. The juice content, pulp content, specific gravity and organoleptic rating decreased during storage. Fruits treated with fungicide and stored at low temperatures received the best market value.
