ABSTRACT
Minimally processed pomegranate arils cv. Bhagwa were packed in 80, 150 guage of Polypropylene bags (PP) and 100, 150 guage of Low Density Polyethylene bags (LDPE) stored at 5oC. Arils packed with Low Density Polyethylene bags with 150 guage recorded significantly lower PLW than unpacked arils. Stastically lowest spoilage, correspondingly increased the shelf life upto 12 days and superior for appearance and overall acceptability of arils packed in 80 guage of PP bags. Significantly the highest Hunter color Lab values (L*, a* & b*), TSS, brix-acid ratio, sugars, ascorbic acid in arils packed with PP bags with 80 guage. Arils packed in 80 guage of PP bags were superior for organoleptic attributes.
Key words: Arils, Packaging, Shelf life, Hunter color Lab values (L*, a* & b*) Quality.
