Abstract [en]

Capsicum frutescens L. (green chili) is an important food crop normally used in traditional cuisine. It is soft in texture with high moisture content and active metabolism; hence, it is highly vulnerable to quality deterioration. The object of this study was to explore the storage conditions for the enhancement of postharvest storage life of (CaCl2) 0.5% (T4), CaCl2 1.5% (T5), and CaCl2 2% (T6). Treated fruits were packed in three different types of packing materials (polythene, paper, and cardboard), and the experiment was duplicated to store at 10 degrees C and 25 degrees C. The quality of fruits was assessed by decay percentage, weight loss percentage, length of shelf life, and antioxidant activities. The given treatments improved the quality of chili. The shelf life was significantly enhanced by 4mM/L SA and 2% CaCl2 treatment for up to 56 days in cardboard packaging at 10 degrees C.
