A decrease in the peak force required to puncture the pointed gourd samples and chilis sample in all the packaging types. In all other ambient packaging types there was significant decrease in the puncture force. The decrease in peak force was from 1.63 to 0.94 kgf in PP-film with pin holes under ambient storage of 8 days. The control sample showed a decrease of peak force from 1.63 to 1.18 kgf at the end of 8th day under refrigerated storage. The decrease in puncture force was gradual in all other samples stored in different packaging types under refrigerated condition. In all chilis sample was found to decrease texture significantly during storage.
