An experiment was conducted to study the effect of chlorine, packaging and storage conditions on quality and shelf life of tomato. Tomato treated with chlorine; packed in perforated (0.25%) polyethylene bag and kept at ambient (Temperature 20-25°C & relative humidity 70-90%) condition resulted in substantial reduction in losses caused by decay and weight loss. This treatment combination also considerably delayed compositional changes in TSS, total sugar, reducing sugar, vitamin-C, B-carotene, etc. Under this condition, shelf life of tomato had extended upto 17 days as compared to non-treated and kept in ambient condition without packaging or packed in gunny bag for 7 days only. Key Words: Postharvest treatments, shelf-life, quality of tomato. doi: 10.3329/bjar.v33i4.2291 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 33(4) : 579-585, December 2008

In the present study, influence of two types packaging (inflated polypropylene (IPP) and laminated aluminium foil (ALU)) and storage conditions (with/without 1 g of silica desiccant packets (SDPs)) on quality and shelf life of chewy santol candies were studied. After storage at 25 degrees Celsius for 30 days, it was found that the combination of ALU with SDPs presented the best treatment to maintain the quality of colour, water activity (aw), moisture content, total acidity, pH value, sensory evaluation i.e. (colour, odour, flavour and overall acceptance). Shelf-life prediction by using accelerated Q10 method based on moisture factors as an indicator of deterioration of the samples during storage. The samples were incubated at 25, 35 and 45°C and sampled every 5 days for estimated on physical, chemical quality and microbiological change. The predicted shelf life of chewy santol candies at 25°C of IPP and ALU packaging with SDPs using Q10 method were 25 and 27 days, respectively. However, the IPP and ALU packaging without SDPs, the products can be stored less than 25 days. SDPs provides a cheaper and easy method to keeping quality of the chewy santol candies. Therefore, the products with SDPs packaging can maintain the product quality during storage and has an acceptable quality to consumers.
