An experiment was conducted to investigate “effect of coating material on the shelf life of persimmon (Diospyros kaki) at post-harvest laboratory, Department of Horticulture, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during 2015. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomize Design (CRD), repeated three times with two factors i.e. coating material (corn oil) and uncoated (control) and storage intervals (0, 3,6,9,12,15 and18). Results showed that Results shows that corn oil increased fruit firmness (2.51Kg/cm2), TSS (20.920Brix), lowest weight loss (6.41%) and decay incidence (14.99%).Storage duration showed the highest weight loss (15.65 %), decay incidence (51.6 %) and TSS (24.48 0Brix), lowest fruit firmness (1.72 kg/cm2) and moisture content (14.3%) was observed in fruits stored for 18 days of storage interval. On the basis of findings it is recommended that persimmon fruits should be treated to reduce weight loss, fruit decay incidence, and maintain the firmness and TSS for more than 18 days of storage intervals.

Effect of coating material (corn oil) on the storage life of persimmon fruit

The research study entitled “Post-harvest life of persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) as affected by coating materials and storage intervals” was conducted at post-harvest laboratory, Department of Horticulture, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during the year 2015. The research work was conducted in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications and two factors i.e. storage intervals (0, 15, 30, and 45 days) and coating materials (Soya bean and Corn oil). The fruits of persimmon coated with soya bean oil increase TSS (11.53Brix), taste (5.17) and moisture content (31.58%), while fruit store for zero days fruit decay (10%), weight loss (0%), less firmness (1.43 kg/cm) and more moisture content (35.16%), however on 30 days storage more TSS (15.13Brix) and taste (6) was observed. The fruit store for 30 days and soya bean coating perform better on all the parameter, so recommended for post-harvest life extension of persimmon fruits.
