Abstract

The experiment was laid in a Factorial Completely Randomized Design with six replications.The plots had four treatments viz., T1-0 day, T2-4 days, T3-8 days, T4-12 days, T5-16 days.The varieties BSR 1, NA7, Kanchan and Chakaiya were used as experimental material with all normal cultural practices followed for aonla cultivation during 2023-2024.The post-harvest physiological studies like., TSS (Brix) acidity (pH) ascorbic acid content (mg/100 g pulp) physiological loss in weight (%) and percentage in decay loss were recorded.The Aonla variety BSR 1 registered highest mean TSS (12.33Brix),Acidity (3.33%), Ascorbic acid (561.13mg/100 g), lowest mean Physiological loss in weight (5.29%) at 16 days storage period and lesser percent decay loss (19.85%).
