Effect of different storage conditions on shelf life of kinnow.

The shelf life of Kinnow mandarin fruits packed in card board boxes covered with polyethylene under various storage conditions (i.e. paper as the lining material, paper lining with modified atmosphere storage, individual paper wrapping with or without modified atmosphere storage, polyethylene sheet lining, and individual polyethylene packing) was studied. After 77 days of storage, fruits stored in polyethylene bags had the lowest physiological weight loss (4.0%) while those packed using paper lining as a cushioning material recorded the greatest physiological weight loss (20.6%). Decay was not observed up to 28 days of storage; thereafter, decay severity increased with storage period. The lowest decay loss (7.5%) was observed in fruits packed with paper lining while the highest (12.5%) was determined in fruits individually packed with polyethylene.
