Comparative analysis of different packaging materials on the postharvest performance of banana fruits

An experiment was carried out to investigate the comparative analysis of different packaging materials on postharvest performance banana fruit. A laboratory laid at Gokuleshwor Agriculture and animal science college in month March 2023. The conducted a complete random design (CRD) with 5 treatments 4 replications. were t1: control, t2: leaf, t3: straw, t4: polythene bag, t5: card box. highest physiological weight loss (27.677 gm) recorded control (Unpackage) whereas lowest (12.61 from bag. maximum value TSS fruits treated polyethylene bag (15.325 ˚Brix) minimum (12.725 ˚Brix). Titrable acidity found be bags (0.318) cardboard (0.2437), titrable decreasing as ripening advances. Pulp firmness shows pattern. changes observed faster all days, slower decrease pulp As advances thickness an increased trend over storage period. On 16 days higher (2.78cm), lower (2.70 cm). seeing overall trend, seems time. peel decreased (0.444 cm) (0.41 Therefore, it is clear that packaged demonstrated remarkable quality shelf life when compared alternative materials.
