Organoleptic rating and physiological loss in weight during storage of lichi fruit cv Bombai.

The effect and efficacy of kinetin (5, 10 and 15 ppm), 2,4-D (10, 15 and 20 ppm), gibberellin (GA, 30, 40 and 50 ppm), perforated polyethylene (at 0 and 4 deg C), cycocel [chlormequat] (50, 100 and 150 ppm), NAA (50, 100 and 150 ppm), IAA (25, 50 and 75 ppm), and control (distilled water) postharvest treatments on Litchi chinensis fruits under laboratory conditions were determined. Fruits treated with kinetin, 2,4-D (15 and 20 ppm), GA, cycocel (100 and 150 ppm), IAA (25 ppm) were acceptable up to 8 days of storage, whereas control fruits were only acceptable up to 4 days of storage. Physiological loss in weight (PLW) increased progressively as storage period advanced. On day 4 of storage, PLW was maximum (4.71%) in fruits under control treatment and lowest in fruits kept in polyethylene packets at 0 deg C temperature (2.60%). Best results were obtained under the treatments using perforated polyethylene at 0 and 4 deg C, where minimum PLW up to 8 days of storage was observed and storage life was extended up to 14 and 18 days, respectively.
