Abstract: This experiment was conducted in the Department of Post-harvest Technology, College of Horticulture, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot during the year 2018-19. In this experiment, banana fruits were packed in seven packaging treatments (T1-Silver-zeolite-LDPE composite bag, T2-Zeolite-LDPE composite bag, T3-Chlorine-zeolite-LDPE composite bag, T4-Silver-zeolite-LDPE composite bag + CFB, T5-Zeolite-LDPE composite bag + CFB, T6-Chlorine-zeolite-LDPE composite bag + CFB and T7-Only CFB) were compared with control (T8) to know their efficacy in maintaining the organoleptic qualities of sapota fruits refrigerated (13°C) conditions. Sapota fruits packed in T6-Chlorine-zeolite-LDPE composite bag + CFB scored maximum scores in terms of appearance (freshness/shrinkage) of fruit, pulp colour, mouth feel (firmness) of pulp, taste and flavour and overall acceptability among the treatments during storage of 21 days.
