Summary

Rambutan fruits were dipped in 250 ppm potassium metabisulfite and held at 13.5 °C and at 95% RH for 7, 14 and 21 days. The dip treatment increased the retention of Brix°, prevented change in acidity, gave higher retention of anthocyanin and ascorbic acid, and reduced disease incidence and severity, and browning of stored fruits. Potassium metabisulphite spraying was not effective.
