under ambient storage followed by the vacuum pack condition where the decrease (17.2%) was to 236.12(±2.68) mg/100 g. In cold storage control samples the decrease of ascorbic acid was from 285.37(±2.38) mg/100 g to 200.51(±1.97) mg/100 g at the end of 16th day.
Among cold storage condition, PP with pin holes showed the best result (21% loss) with 225.30(±2.54) mg/100 g followed by vacuum packaging (26% loss) with 211.15(±1.97) mg/100 g ascorbic acid at the end of 28 days of storage (Fig. 6).
