ABSTRACT

Investigations were carried out to know the optimum concentration of calcium salts and the best wrapping material for increasing shelf life of guava. Fruits treated with calcium chloride1% and wrapped in newspaper recorded minimum reduction in fruit size (length and breadth) weight and best in organoleptic evaluation during storage period.
