Studies were conducted to evaluate quality changes in jamoon fruits using modified atmosphere packaging in conjunction with ethrel or ethanol treatments up to 12 days at refrigerated and non-refrigerated temperatures. Although ethanol was effective in reducing astringency in fruits after 3 days, fruits appeared bleached with sensory evaluations revealing a distinct off-taste which became intensified with increasing storage durations. Fruits stored in sealed low-density polyethylene bags on the other hand, maintained a turgid, fresh appearance and colour with the minimal changes in percentage fresh weight losses and decay after 12 days at 10 degrees C without alterations in astringency.
