Sealing and curing was found favourable to maintain the fruit quality and to extend its shelf life upto 6-7 weeks. The treatments also helped in healing and inhibited softening. Higher O2 and lower CO2 contents were found in sealed-cured fruit bags. The combined treatment (sealing + curing + washing) was found more effective than individual treatments.
