Bulk packaging for the maintenance of eggplant quality in storage.

ABSTRACT :

 

Eggplants [aubergines] for export from Israel are currently packed individually in PVC stretch film. Wholesalers, however, dislike these wraps because they must be removed prior to marketing. Alternative polyethylene linings and absorbent materials for packing during the storage of aubergine fruits (cv. Classic) were examined. The best storage method involved packing several fruits (10-15) pre-treated with a solution of prochloraz and NAA, inside an unperforated polyethylene lining bag, together with 10 layers of tissue paper to prevent water condensation. This method prevented weight loss and maintained fruit quality during 14 days of storage at 12 deg C and an additional 3 days at 20 deg .
