Abstract
Research was carried out to evaluate the influence of various packaging materials on litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruits stored under cold conditions. Packaging materials coupled with cold conditions increased the shelf life of litchi to 16 days. Polyethylene and polyvinylchloride were found to be most efficient. Wrapping fruits with polyethylene reduced spoilage (12.76%), while unpacked fruits experienced maximum spoilage (25.99%). Physiological weight loss was also reduced to minimum (3.10%) in fruits packed in polyvinyl chloride as compared to the control (8.98%).
