Percent weight loss during storage showed significant results
(Fig. 1a). The minimum weight loss occurred in fruits treated with Crab Chitosan 200
kGy (T3) followed by the fruit treated with Crab Chitosan 100 kGy (T2) as compared with
untreated fruit (T1). It was found that as the storage time proceeded the weight loss
percentage was also increased and the maximum weight loss was recorded after 6 weeks
of storage.
