Tomato was classified as a climacteric fruit with a fast ripening period andthen followed by the increase of fruit softening. The inhibition of fruit softening was needed to maintain the quality and shelf life of the fruit. One of the way to inhibit the tomatoes softening was calcium application. However, the best concentration and timing of calcium application for tomato was still limited. The aimed of research was to determine the best combination of concentration and time of application of calcium chloride (CaCl2) to the physicochemical of tomato. Experiment was arranged in factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors and three replications. First factor was concentration of CaCl2 which consisted of 5 levels (0 M; 0.3 M; 0.6 M; 0.9 M; 1.2 M), while the second factor was application time of CaCl2 (pre- and post-harvesting). The results showed that there was no interaction between concentration and application time of CaCl2 to the physicochemical of tomatoes. Treatment of CaCl2 1.2 M could increased fruit calcium content, inhibited weight loss and fruit softness, increased total titrated acid content, and inhibited the degradation of vitamin C. The application time of CaCl2 in pre- and post-harvest was not significantly different in term of physicochemical properties. Keywords: fruit softness, quality, weight loss, shelf life, vitamin C

Influence of Mica Packaging Container Sizes on Quality and ShelfLife of Strawberry (Fragaria sp.). This study aimed to determine the effect of plastic mica container size with a total of 15 pieces of packaging and determined the best treatment for the shelf life of strawberries (Fragaria sp). This study useds a complete randomized design methodology (CRD) with one treatment, namely the type of plastic mica container size with various types of packaging types as follows: type 1 (K1), type 2 (K2), type 3 (K3) and number 15 fruit packs. The observed variables were weight loss, hardness level, shelf life, organoleptic test, respiration rate and vitamin C. The size of the packaging containers affected the physico-chemical changes in the strawberries. The treatment influenced the physico-chemical changes in the strawberries, such as the rate of respiration and vitamin C levels. The best packaging size was the smallest size (K1 ) K2 and K3 packaging container sizes. This is indicated by the lowest weight loss variable, with the value of 0.20%, the lowest value of respiration rate (20.61 CO2/ kg/hour), the highest vitamin C  content (72.89 mg/100g), while in the organoleptic test, the smallest container size resulted in the highest score in fruit colour, container size has a score highest in the observation of fruit color, fruit appearance and fruit aroma. Observation of the shelf life of strawberries showed that the container size of K1 (the smallest) had an average shelf life better than K2 and K3.  K1 container size produced a shelf life average of 4 days while K2 container size produce a shelf life average of 3,4 days. The shortest shelf life average was recorded in the K3 container size with a value of 3,2 days. It is concluded that the shelf life of strawberries in a packaging container at a temperature of 28-30ºC can be as long as 4 days.

Crocidolomia binotalis Zell is an important pest in Brassicaceae vegetable crops. Vegetable insecticide is one potential alternative to controlling the pest. This study aims to determine the application time of noni fruit extract and to determine the effective concentration of noni fruit extract as a vegetable insecticide in controlling C. binotalis larva on cabbage plants in the field. this study used a Completely Randomized Design (RAL) consisting of two treatment factors and four replications. The first factor is the concentration of extract (5 ppm, 10 ppm, 15 ppm and 20 ppm) and the second factor is the time of application of vegetable pesticide before the pest is invested (W1) and after the pest is invested (W2). So there are 32 units of experiments and 4 units of experiments added as control. The results showed, noni fruit extract had no significant effect on mortality of C. binotalis larvae. The highest mortality rate is at 100% K2 (10ppm) concentration at the time of application before the pest is invested (W1). The interaction had significant effect on the wet weight of the plant canopy but had no significant effect on the mortality of the pest, the intensity of the attack, the percentage of pupa formed, and the present percentage of imago.

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is highly perishable and has potential for processing industries in bumper producing seasons in Nepal. The study on judicious use of nitrogen and potassium levels was aimed to explore the quality attributes along with the shelf life of tomato fruits. Three levels of nitrogen comprising 0 kg/ha (N0), 100 kg/ha (N100), 200 kg/ha (N200) and four levels of potassium 0 K2O kg/ha (K0), 80 K2O kg/ha (K80), 160 K2O kg/ha (K160), 240 K2O kg /ha (K240) were used as treatments in randomized complete block design with three replications at Chitwan (Inner Terai) Nepal. Tomatoes at breaker stage were harvested from the field and 10 fruits from each treatment per replication were kept for physiological weight loss, color rating and shelf life in ambient condition (17.5±3 0C and 80.5±6.5 % RH). Fruit quality with respect to physicochemical properties like firmness, TSS, TA, pH and Vitamin C was assessed at the end of shelf life. Higher potassium levels hasten color development and increased TSS, firmness and vitamin C content. Physiological weight loss was greatly reduced and extended shelf life was achieved with 100 kg N/ha and 240 kg K2O/ha.

The present study was run in the laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period of 15 May to September, 2016. The objectives of the study were to determine the effects of different postharvest treatments on the storage behaviour of litchi. Eight postharvest treatments viz., control, fruits stored in 50µ polypropylene bag at ambient temperature, fruits stored in 75µ polypropylene bag at ambient temperature, fruits stored in 100µ polypropylene bag at ambient temperature, fruits stored at 4ºC temperature, fruits stored in 50µ polypropylene bag at 4ºC temperature, fruits stored in 75µ polypropylene bag at 4ºC temperature, fruits stored in 100µ polypropylene bag at 4ºC temperature were assigned to the litchi fruits. The single factor experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design with three replications. 75µ polypropylene bag at low temperature (4ºC) caused minimal weight loss, whereas, the untreated fruits exhibited maximal weight loss. The pericarp turned brown within 4 days of storage in the untreated fruits, while polypropylene bags helped keep its bright red colour, but microbial decay was evident at the end of the storage period. Different postharvest treatments showed highly significant variation in the shelf life of litchi. Among the treated and untreated fruits, 75µ polypropylene bag at low temperature (4ºC) treatment exhibited better storage performance. The fruits kept in 75µ polypropylene bag at 4°C showed the highest shelf life (20.67 days) followed by 50µ polypropylene bag at 4°C (20.33 days), and it was the lowest in the untreated fruits (3 days).

Pineapple is desirable to be consumed fresh, but it taking too long in stripping the pineapple's outer skin. Therefore, currently, the technology of processing horticultural products is minimally applied. Minimum fruit processing can speed up product shelf life. One way to overcome this is coating. Hydrocolloid edible coating is one type of coating with starch as the base material found in several types of tubers, one of which is cassava tuber. This study used a completely randomized design method consisting of one control sample and 3 treatments, cassava starch concentrations were repeated three times, namely A1: 3% cassava starch, A2: 4% cassava starch, A3: 5% cassava starch with 8 days observation. The variables observed were vitamin C, weight loss and color. The results showed that the highest vitamin C content was in the treatment of 5% cassava starch at 3.20 mg/100 g and the lowest was the control treatment of 3.15 mg/100 g. The smallest weight loss was A3 treatment of 73.75% and the biggest was control treatment 79.67%. The average value of the highest color was found in A3 treatment, which was around 66.92º showed yellow-red.
