This study aims to obtain a combination of soaking time and temperature that can control fruit rot disease of Pondoh snake fruit. The treatment consisted of 45, 50 and 55°C for 5 and 10 minutes and control. The results showed that hot water treatment had a significant effect on the snake fruit. Temperature of 50°C for 5 minutes is more effective in preventing the appearance of disease symptoms up to 10th days of storage, compared to controls which started to show symptoms on the 2nd day.
