Influence of ambient and evaporative cool chamber storage conditions on the quality of polyethylene-packed Kinnow fruit.

Kinnow mandarins were dipped for 5 minutes in 1% Bavistin (carbendazim) and then packed in sealed bags of 150-gauge polyethylene and stored for 8 weeks in evaporative cool chambers, constructed from low-cost material available locally, or under ambient conditions. Bags contained 1, 2 or 4 fruits or 1 kg of fruits. The combination of Bavistin dips and polyethylene packing reduced weight loss during storage. Such fruits also exhibited a more gradual increase in TSS and sugar contents and decrease in titratable acidity and ascorbic acid contents than fruits not sealed in bags, especially under cool chamber storage. Spoilage due to fungal decay was greater in the fruits stored under ambient conditions and when more fruits were packed together. Fruits stored in the cool chamber were more acceptable as they had a better appearance, texture, taste and flavour.
