Influence of polyethylene packaging on the postharvest life of tuberose (cv. Single) florets.

ABSTRACT :

 

Investigations were carried out to compare the effects of polyethylene (PE) packing with different levels of ventilation on the storage life of tuberose florets under ambient conditions. Packaging tuberose florets significantly reduced physiological loss of weight, 300-gauge PE bags being the most effective. Packaging also maintained greater freshness, retained the white colour for a longer time and reduced rotting, thus extending the shelf life up to 4.6 days compared with 1.3 days in the case of non-packed controls. Packaging tuberose florets in 300-gauge PE bags with no ventilation was the most effective treatment for extending shelf life and maintaining high quality.
