Abstract

Field and laboratory studied were conducted at the research field of Olericulture Division and laboratory of Postharvest Technology Section under the Horticulture Research Center (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur to find out the suitable sweet pepper hybrid (P7×P8) and to determine the appropriate storage temperature and storage material on shelf life and fruit quality of hybrid sweet pepper. The laboratory result reveal that perforated poly bag was found better in reducing fungal decay (6.02%) as well as for better visual appearance and excellent nutritive quality during 10th day of storage irrespective of temperature. The minimum weight loss of fruits was (0.86%) noted at temperature of 4°C kept in perforated poly bags at 10th day of storage. Higher TSS value (5.49% in 10th day and 5.58% in 20th day of storage) was attained under ambient temperature with perforated package. Maximum beta carotene value in fruit (42.78 µg per 100 g) was observed during 10 days storing at perforated poly bag of 4°C temperatures. However, freshness of fruits was up to the marks and senescence of fruits was delayed in 4°C and in perforated poly bag up to 10th day of storage. These temperature (4°C) and perforated poly bag might be afforded a beneficial balance to visual appearance and nutritional status. The results suggest that fruits of sweet pepper at 4°C stored in perforated poly bag for a period of 10th day might be appropriate regarding the firmness, good visual appearance and fruit quality.
