ABSTRACT

The effect of wax emulsion alone and in combination with post harvest chemicals and different
packagings on physico-chemical characters and marketability of aonla under ambient storage conditions
was studied. The physico-chemical changes were faster in untreated fruits (control) packed in nylon net
bags. Post harvest treatment with 6 % waxol + 1 % Ca[NO3]2 followed by 6 % waxol + 400 ppm CCC
recorded lower PLW and moisture loss throughout the storage period. The treatment with 6 % waxol
+0.1 % carbendazim was found effective in reducing decay loss. Treatment with 6 % waxol + 100 ppm
GA3 resulted in maximum retention of ascorbic acid followed by treatment 6 % waxol + 400 ppm CCC.
Packaging of fruits in perforated PE bags had remarkable effect in reducing PLW, retention in moisture
and acceptable physico-chemical qualities. The shelf life of aonla fruits was extended upto 15 days at
room temperature when fruits were treated with 6 % waxol + 400 ppm CCC and packed in perforated
PE bags. This treatment combination recorded the maximum score for marketability.
