Rambutan fruits (Nephelium lappaceum Linn.) var. Seechompoo were stored in non-perforated polyethylene bags, perforated polyethylene bags and plastic baskets at 10 deg C., 15 deg C., 20 deg C. and room temperature (29.7 deg C.), respectively. The result showed that rambutans in non-perforated polyethylene bags had the best appearance and eating quality after 9 days in storage at 15 deg C. Percentage of weight loss was 9.71 % and the percent age of total soluble solids decreased gradually. The storage life of rambutans at room temperature in three packaging materials was only 3 days and rambutans at 10 deg C. showed chilling injury symptom after one day storage
