Post-harvest shelf life

The main objective of this study was to see the effect of natural Aloe vera gel coating, and combined with citric acid treatments on shelf life and quality of mango during storage. Mango fruit is very perishable in nature and considerable postharvest quality defect is occurred during and after harvest.

Mango fruit plays an important economic role in Côte d’Ivoire as the third major exported fruit after banana and pineapple. The main issue of the mango value chain in Côte d’Ivoire is linked to poor agricultural practices and postharvest losses due to climateric characteristics of the fruit. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of bioactive edible coating made of garlic extract and cassava starch as a novel approach to enhance the postharvest quality and shelf-life of Keitt mango fruit.

In India, presently about 35 to 40 per cent of the onion is estimated to be lost as postharvest losses during various operations including handling and storage. Serious losses occur during storage due to sprouting and rotting. Keeping this in view, an investigation was carried out to study the effect of different packing and storage methods on storage life of aggregatum onion cv. CO on 5.

Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour) is the delicate fruit of immense value. Its production in Asia pacific regions countries including China, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and India has shown a rise in last few years. Longan has a widespread postharvest use but, the major hindrance in its PHM (Postharvest management) is its poor shelf life. Its proper postharvest management starts from judging horticultural maturity and retaining all its sensory characteristics which are important for its consumer appeal. There are several problems which need to be taken care during its PHM.

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is the fifth most important fruit crop of India, has a limited postharvest shelf life. This study explored the use of some postharvest treatments to extend the shelf life, post-harvest disease incidence and to assess the physico-chemical changes of fruits during storage and to study the effect of seasonal variation on quality and storage life of guava fruits (cv.L-49).

Ethylene inhibitor compound 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), sanitizer chlorine dioxide (ClO2) and polyhexamethylene guanidine (PHMG) were studied to know the postharvest behavior and storage life of banana fruits (cultivar Yelakki), harvested at second stage of its ripening. Banana fruits were pretreated with the above chemicals either singly or in combination and stored in corrugated fiber board boxes at ambient condition. The 1-MCP treatment had delayed the colour change of peel as well as fruit softening and extended t h e shelf life by suppressing the respiration.

In order to extend the shelf life of banana cultivar Grand Naine was fumigated with 1-methylcyclopropane (1-MCP) at four different concentrations (100, 200, 300 and 400 ppb) @ 24h exposed time and stored at ambient conditions. Among all the treatments, 400 ppb was found to be an effective in extending shelf-life, highest retention of cell wall degrading enzyme such as Pectin methylestarase and free radical scavenging enzymes peroxidise and catalase. The entire 1-MCP treated banana showed better results over control (kept at open air @ 24h).

Sapota (Achras zapota L.) is one of the tropical climacteric fruits preferred by the consumers due to its sweet taste and aroma. Fruits become ripe very quickly after harvesting due to sudden climacteric rise with high respiration rate and ethylene production. This quick ripening causes loosening the texture of fruit leads to softening of and spoilage. The short shelf life of the fruit is a marketing problem which is a major cause of huge postharvest loss of this fruit.

Guava fruits of cv. Lalit were treated with salicylic acid (SA) and 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) at 1 mM and 2 mM concentration and stored at 10oC for 12 days. After storage, fruits were transferred to ambient conditions (20±2oC) for 3 days shelf life stimulation period and then observations were recorded up to 12+3 days. Results revealed that fruits treated with SA or SSA at 2 mM concentration showed minimum weight loss and colour change but maintained maximum firmness, total phenolics and ascorbic acid content.

Banana fruit were exposed to hexanal vapour at 600, 900 and 1200 ppm for two and four h at 27±2°C. Fruits were then stored at 27±2 ° C with 65-75% relative humidity and latter assessed for quality. The rate of respiration, increase in TSS and loss of firmness were affected negatively by hexanal vapour treatment. Changes in the peel colour were also slowed compared to untreated fruits.
