Resumo: | The effect of packaging material and evaporative cooled storage environment on quality characteristics of tomato and kinnow fruits was evaluated. The experiments were carried out using complete randomized design and significant difference (P≤0.05) was observed among storage conditions and time with the observed parameters viz. plysiological loss in weight, firmness, pH, total soluble solids, acidity, ascorbic acid and overall acceptability in both summer and winter season. Packaging and evaporative cooling maintains the physico-chemical quality and shelf-life of tomato and kinnow fruits increases by more than two fold as compared to the ambient conditions. The 100 gauge LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) bag packaging combined with evaporative cool chamber with rice husk ash (RHA) maintained the superior quality of tomato and kinnow in terms of highest overall acceptability. This novel technology is found suitable to prevent postharvest loss of horticultural produce and is recommended for short-term on farm storage.
