Effect of calcium and polythene wrapping on storage life of mango

Year: 1998

Type: article

Abstract: The perforated polythene wrapping and preharvest spraying of calcium compounds particularly CaCl2 and Ca(No3)2 on storage life of fruits was evaluated in mango Amrapali. The shelf-life of fruits was enhanced as judged from the pattern of physiological loss in weight, TSS, acidity, total sugar, ascorbic acid and 13-carotene content. Perforated polythene wrapping, CaCl2 (1.5%) and Ca(No3) (1.5%) were most effective treatments over the control to enhance the storage life of fruits.
