In AMAP and MAP refrigerated, fruit firmness finally settled at 0.75 and 0.89 kgf, respectively by the end of storage period of 42 and 49 days respectively. Nontreated fruits control (CS and CR) samples had about 95.43–74.61% reduction in firmness by the end of respective storage life in contrast to about 12.18–15.22% decline in both the refrigerated (AMAP and MAP) packages by the end of 49 days and 42 days of storage period. As expected, both refrigerated (AMAP and MAP) packages attained a similar trend in retention of fruit firmness throughout the storage period (Fig. 7). Modified atmospheric packaging significantly slowed down softening of capsicum fruit during storage which was consider the minimum requirement for commercially acceptability.
