The vitamin content of fresh fruit has decreased; on the other hand sugar content has increased which shows that grape fruit has ripened within one week. The fruit got fully spoiled within 8 or 9 days. The proposed package can be used under gamma radiation process that can extend Shelflife from one to more than two weeks. There was not much change in the vitamin content after one week. The change in sugar content was noticeable after 12 days. Irradiation process has extended the Shelflife of the product by controlling
the ripening process. It also kills the micro organism which may spoil the fruit.The newly developed packaging material has got the middle layer PVOHStarch blend, which is fully biodegradable. This will make the multi layer package partially biodegradable
