The present post harvest investigation, aimed at studying the interaction effect of different packaging and cushioning material used during road transportation on chemical properties of fruits during ripening and storage of Alphoso mango fruits ,was undertaken at Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture,Dapoli, during mango cropping season of 2013-14 ,in Factorial randomized block design (FRBD), with three harvested at “B” stage of physiological maturity, were packed in five different packaging materials (wooden box, bamboo basket (karandi), plastic crates, and corrugated fibre board boxes) and four cushioning materials (paddy straw, grass, tissue paper) followed by road transportation for 300km, were periodically assessed for different chemical changes during ripening and storage. | Chemical fruit quality of alphonso mango as influenced by packaging and cushioning material after long distance road transportation
