Uniform and healthy capsicum fruits of cv. ‘Bachata F1’ (yellow colored) and ‘Inspiration F1’ (red colored) were used to study the storage-life (days) inside a cold room of Ecofrost and normal room conditions. The capsicum fruits of cv. ‘Bachata F1’ (yellow) and ‘Inspiration F1’ (red) were harvested in the morning session at the right stage near 90% colored stage. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of cold storage on the post-harvest storage-life (days) of capsicum cv. ‘Bachata F1’ and ‘Inspiration F1’ at 10°C and 93% relative humidity. The results showed that keeping the fruits of capsicum cv. ‘Bachata F1’ (15 Days) and ‘Inspiration F1’ (15 days) inside cold storage, recorded better retention of fruit qualities. The chilling symptoms weren’t observed inside c.. Read More»
