Effects of Film Thickness, Fruit Arrangement (One or Two Layer) and Packaging Size on Apricot Shelf Life

Fruits and vegetables are highly perishable and require proper post harvest management, using appropriate techniques for handling, packaging and storage to minimize loss. This study was ran to minimize loss and export development of fresh fruit (apricot), and carried out in three steps; 1. Post harvest process for all treatments was precooling, disinfection and removing water drop 2: Packaging treatments were also: different thicknesses of films, size and heights of packages 3. Storage after packaging. Condition of storage after packaging for all treatments was: cold storage with 90-95% relative humidity and -0.5°C, curing room with 70% relative humidity and 40°C and cold storage with 90-95% relative humidity and -0.5 to +0.5°C. Treatments were evaluated by chemical, physical and organoleptic tests. Data compared with statical analysis. Results showed that the best treatment for apricot packaging was: pack size 500gr, fruit high in pack 2 layer, film thickness 25 dam and 100 holes on area unit.
