Abstract

Respiration rate and ethylene production during ripening process causes the ba-nana fruit to deteriorate rapidly and shorten its shelf life. Keeping in view the significance of this issue a laboratory study was carried out during 2019 at the Department of Horticulture SAU Tandojam to determine the effect of potassium permanganate at different concentrations (0, 1%, 2% and 3%) on quality and shelf life of banana under low (7oC±2oC) and ambient temperature (25oC±2oC) using split plot experimental design with three replicates. Results showed statistically significant variations for KMnO4 concentrations as well as for temperatures on different parameters of banana. Fruits treated with 1% KMnO4 concentration at low temperature improved most of the quality parameters; weight of fruit after ripening (78.81 g), pH (6.5), TSS (19.8 oBrix), fruit pulp (73.05 g), while, change of peel color at stage-6 took many days (15.08) and increased the shelf life (19.51 days) as compared to other KMnO4 Concentrations. However, the lowest quality and shelf life were observed under 3% KMnO4 concentration and control. Minimum ethylene gas was noted in banana fruits treated with 1% of KMnO4 (0.8, 10-1 μL. L-1. h-1. Kg-1 FW) at low temperature reflected by various physicochemical parameters observed.
