Augustin M.A., . and Jamilah Bakar, . (1986) Storage of mangosteens Garcinia mangostana in different packaging materials. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Mangosteens Garcinia mangostana L. were packed in different types of packaging materials and stored in a cold room at 8 degree C. It was found that packaging did not prolong the shelf-life of the mangosteen. The only significant difference offered by packaging was that it reduced moisture loss from fruit. Of the packaging materials used polyproylene PP 0.02 mm was the least effective for retaining moisture. High density polyethylene HDPE 0.02mm was only marginally more effective than PP while low density polyethylene LDPE 0.04 mm proved to be the most effective for preventing moisture loss. It was observed that there was also slight moulding on the surface of packaged mangosteens particularly at the stem ends of the fruit at later stages of storage. Analysis of total soluble solids TSS and titratable acidity TA of flesh segments showed that there were no significant changes in TSS and a trend of decreasing TA during storage. There were no significant difference in TSS and TA between control and packaged fruits
