Postharvest quality and storage life of Khasi mandarins as influenced by different packages and maturity stages.

Fruits of mandarin cv. Khasi at colour break or complete orange-yellow stages were packed in bamboo baskets, wooden boxes, corrugated paper boxes or in polyethylene-lined fertilizer bags and transported by rail from Jorhat to Hisar (2600 km, 54 h). Fruits packed in wooden boxes or corrugated paper boxes retained their firmness, weight and ascorbic acid contents better during transportation and subsequent storage than fruits packed in bamboo baskets or fertilizer bags. Fruits packed in bamboo baskets showed the greatest loss of quality in terms of decreasing ascorbic acid contents. Colour break fruits lost more moisture during transportation and storage than complete orange-yellow fruits. Acidity of fruits decreased significantly during storage, irrespective of packaging material and fruit maturity stage.
