Pomegranate arils (cv. ‘Bhagwa’)

The effect of time and temperature on the respiration rate (RR) of fresh-cut produce is critical towards the development of a suitable modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) system. This requires an adequate mathematical model for prediction of RR as a function of both time and temperature. This study investigated the effect of temperature (5, 10 and 15 °C) and storage time of 1 to 5 days on the RR (RO2 and RCO2) of two pomegranate cultivars (cv. „Bhagwa‟ and„Ganesh‟) fresh arils. RO2 and RCO2 were within the range of 2.54 to 8.36 ml/kg.h and 2.76 to 10.04 ml/kg.

The present research study focuses on organic edible coatings such as chitosan (1%), aloe vera gel (100%), honey (10%) as an substitute for chemical based coatings showed promising results in extending shelf life of ready-to-eat arils of pomegranate cv. Bhagwa packed in clamshells. Chitosan (1%) treated pomegranate arils packed in clamshells and stored at cold temperature of 4±1ºC was found to be promising to maintain several quality parameters such as total anthocyanins (25.38 mg 100 g-1 ), β– carotene content (25.

The present study on pomegranate aril coating with Aloe vera gel at different concentrations was carried out at the Postharvest Technology Laboratory, College of Horticulture, Venkataramannagudem, West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh during the year 2015-16. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications with the main objective of reducing the browning of arils by application of Aloe vera gel.

This paper seeks to propose that edible coatings could be used to preserve the fresh-like quality of minimally processed pomegranate arils and extend their shelf life. Studies were conducted on three different edible coatings chitosan (1%), aloe vera gel (100%) and honey (10%).
