Summary

Modified atmosphere conditions which would prolong the storage life of 'Rong-Rien' rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) were investigated. Rambutans were packed in low-density polyethylene bags with 0, 1, 2 or 3 ventilation holes and stored at 12 °C. Bags both with and without ventilation holes reduced the weight loss and extend the storage life of the fruit. Rambutan stored in a normal atmosphere had a storage life of only 8 days, while the fruits stored in the bags with and without ventilation holes retained a good appearance for 12 and 16 days, respectively.
