Abstract

Both mango and papaya varieties treated with bio-wax showed better fruit quality compared to control fruits. Results indicate that storage life could be extended for more than 21 days. The slow release mechanism of active ingredients in the bio-wax plays a key role in preserving shelf life by minimizing loss due to disease. This one-pager provides a brief outline of the research, with images of fruit trials over a period of 21 days.
