Summary

The shelf life of Kinnow mandarin fruits packed in cardboard boxes covered with polyethylene under various storage conditions was studied. After 77 days of storage, fruits stored in polyethylene bags had the lowest physiological weight loss, while those packed using paper lining as a cushioning material recorded the greatest physiological weight loss. Decay was not observed up to 28 days of storage; thereafter, decay severity increased with storage period. The lowest decay loss was observed in fruits packed with paper lining while the highest was determined in fruits individually packed with polyethylene.
