“…These might be attributed due to different treatments and sunlight. Such results partially supported by the findings of Meena et al (2016). They reported that maximum TSS content was found in yellow polythene bag (30.07%) and the minimum was in control condition (14.46%).…”

“…The highest non-reducing sugar content was (6.05%) in control condition and the lowest was in white paper bag (5.35%) (Table 4) and the highest total sugar content (10.13%) was observed in open condition and the lowest in white polythene bag (9.35%) ( Table 4). The observation was different from the observation of Meena et al (2016). They observed better result of total sugar (11.14%), reducing sugar (8.85%) and non-reducing sugar (2.45%) under yellow polyethylene bag.…”

“…2). Meena et al (2016) also reported that the highest titratable acidity content was in control condition and the lowest was in white polythene bag. The decrease of titratable acidity might be attributed to the utilization of organic acids in respiration process and other bio-degradable reactions (Ulrich, 1970).…”

The investigation was carried out at Germplasm Centre (BAU-GPC), Bangladesh Agricultural University, during March to July 2016 in order to investigate the effect of pre-harvest fruit bagging on post-harvest quality of guava cv. Swarupkathi. Four different bagging materials viz. brown paper bag, white paper bag, white polythene bag, and black polythene bag were included for the study and uncovered fruits were used as control treatment. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Fruit bagging treatments showed significant effects on different parameters studied. It was observed that fruit size, fruit weight, vitamin C concentration, and moisture content increased due to fruit bagging. Fruits gained the maximum in size (6.59 cm length, 5.86 cm diameter) and weight (164.26 g) under white paper bag followed by white polythene bag (131.3 g). The skin color of fruits was very attractive in case of white paper bag than that of other treatments. Total soluble solid concentration of the fruit was found to be the maximum (12.33% Brix) under brown paper bag while the maximum vitamin C concentration (162.14 mg 100 g −1 ) was recorded under white paper bag. Uncovered fruits showed the maximum total sugar, non-reducing sugar, and reducing sugar concentrations (10.13%, 6.05%, 4.08%, respectively). The results also revealed that fruit bagging in general, improved the growth and quality of guava fruits as compared to the control (no bagging). Among the various fruit covering materials, white paper bag was found to be the best for overall improvement of physical and chemical quality of guava cv. Swarupkathi.

“…Besides insect control, bagging also influences the post-harvest and quality of the fruit, and may even increase weight, modify fruit color (Tokairin et al, 2014), as well as increase size, humidity, and the contents of vitamin C (Hossain et al, 2018) and soluble solids (Edirimanna et al, 2015;Meena et al, 2016).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the interference of bagging materials on the incidence of insect larvae and the physical and chemical quality of the guava cv. Paluma in an organic system. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with seven treatments and four replications of 25 fruits each. The bagging materials (treatments) were: nonwoven fabric (TNT), transparent plastic bag, white plastic bag, parchment paper, kraft paper, and non-bagged fruits (control). The titratable acidity (TA), ascorbic acid, soluble solids (SS), SS/TA ratio, fresh mass, fruit diameter, fruit length, appearance, and fruit fly incidence were evaluated. Fruit bagging increased the fresh fruit mass, except the tulle bag, which did not change fruit diameter but increased fruit length. There was a high incidence of fruit flies in the non-bagged fruits (100%) and in those with tulle bags (56.53%), reduced to 2.15% when using parchment paper, and reaching the absence of bored fruits when using nonwoven fabric, transparent plastic, and white plastic bags, materials that provided the highest percentages of marketable fruits. All bagging materials did not change the total titratable acidity content and the SS/TA ratio; however, all of them reduced the content of total soluble solids, except the tulle bag. Fruit bagging with nonwoven fabric and parchment paper increased the content of ascorbic acid. Fruit bagging with parchment paper, plastic bag, and nonwoven fabric are efficient in the organic production of guavas for preventing the infection by insect larvae and maintaining the physical and chemical quality of the fruit.

Guava fruit is a very nutritious and fairly rich source of minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber thus medicinally rich to cure stomach-related problems. Thus it's a need of hour to produce quality fruits without any internal or external defects or disorders as well as fruits should be free from chemical residues. The problem to produce the desired quality of fruits can be overcome by the use of pre-harvest bagging technology. Thus an experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of different bagging materials on fruit appearance and quality. The findings revealed that the maximum increase in fruit mass (36.38%), fruit length (20.64%), fruit grade (30.23%), ascorbic acid content (7.36%) and TSS (48.65%) were observed as compared to the control in perforated polythene bags bagged at 30 days after fruit set (PEBD2), newspaper bagged at 30 days after fruit set (NPBD2), perforated polythene bagged at 15 days after fruit set (PEBD1) and butter paper bagged at 15 days after fruit set (BPBD1), respectively, whereas maximum reduction in fruit scar (93.78) recorded in newspaper bagged at 15 days after fruit set (NPBD1). Findings indicated that physio-chemical attributes of bagged fruits positively altered with no scar on fruit skin and without pest infestation thus ensuring better fruit quality, optimum production and consumer acceptance. Thus, bagging is cost-effective technology, warrants physiologically improved quality fruit production with consumer satisfaction.
