Abstract: The investigation was conducted in the Molecular Horticulture Laboratory of Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University to develop processed products from jackfruit through their sensory evaluation in order to see their suitability and consumer acceptability. Using variation in sugar contents five preparations of raw jackfruit green pickle, four preparations of rind jelly and bulb jelly, and three preparations of jam, squash and sweet pickles were successfully prepared. Results from sensory evaluation using a seven point hedonic scale to rate for color, taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptability by untrained panelists indicated preparation No. 3 of green pickle, preparation No. 3 and 4 of rind jelly, preparation No. 2 of bulb jelly, jam, squash and sweet pickle scored highest among all the preparations. The storage of these products in normal room temperature showed that produced pickles remain unchanged even after 12 months of storage. But the quality of jam, jelly and squash started to deteriorate after 7 months of storage due to the absence of preservatives. Based on results, it can be concluded that commercial production of the products by using different parts of jackfruit can be taken up and promoted as a small scale income generating activity.J.

Abstract: A huge loss of banana occurs due to its shorter shelf life and inappropriate postharvest handling. There is a scarce of effective postharvest practices to combat this situation in Bangladesh. In this context, the current experiment was conducted to assess the effects of hot water (45°C for 2 or 5 minutes) and neem leaf extract (20% or 40%) on quality and shelf life of banana (cv. Sabri). The experiment was carried out in completely randomized design with three replications. Data on physico-chemical properties of banana were collected during storage in ambient conditions for two weeks. After two weeks of storage, the banana treated with 40% neem leaf extract showed longest shelf life (8.33 days), minimum change in color (score 4.88), minimum disease incidence (33.33%) and severity (score 2.23), lower reduction of titratable acidity (0.12%) and lower level of total soluble solid (6.90%). While the banana were treated with hot water at 45°C for 2 min, the treated banana also showed lower color change (score 4.53), longer shelf life (8.33 days), minimum loss of firmness (score 4.67), minimum change in vitamin C content (2.17mg/100g) and lower reduction in titratable acidity (0.11%). Among the combined treatments, the banana treated with the combination of hot water (at 45°C for 5 minutes)and 40% neem leaf extract also exhibited considerably longer shelf life (8.17 days), lower change in color (score 5.00), lower disease incidence (46.67%) and lower reduction in titratable acidity (0.15%). From the study it could be concluded that the fruit treated with 40% neem leaf extract retained the majority of the quality parameters for considerably longer period and thereby it could be recommended for practical use to ensure better and longer storage of banana (cv. Sabri) J.Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 16(3): 351–356, December 2018

Abstract: The study was carried out to minimize the postharvest loses and extend shelf life of mango fruitby maintaining physico-chemical properties. The variety selected for the study was “Amrapali”. Freshly harvested mango was treated with different concentrations (20% and 40%) of neem leaf and banana pulp extract alone or in combination. Untreated mango was considered as control. All treated and untreated mango was kept into paper cartons at room condition. The treated fruits showed significant differences in case of total soluble solids content, titratable acidity, vitamin C, disease incidence, disease severity and shelf life in comparison to control fruits. Among the treatments, T2 (neem leaf extract at 20%) and T5 (neem leaf extract 40% + banana pulp extract 40%) treatments showed longer shelf life (9.92 and 10.25 days, respectively), slower changes in color (score 2.77 and 2.93, respectively) and firmness (score 2.67 and 2.77, respectively) less disease severity (score 2.93 and 3.57, respectively), disease incidence (46.67% and 60.00%) and lower loss in weight (38.04% and 35.17%, respectively) at 9 DAT (Days after treatment). On the other hand, total soluble solid was highest in T3 (neem leaf extract 40%) treated fruitswith18.73% more Brix at 13 DAT in comparison to control and other treatments. The effectiveness of the treatment T5 (neem leaf extract 40% + banana pulp extract 40%) was meaningful which could be recommended for maintenance of postharvest quality of mango stored in ambient conditions.

Abstract: Banana is a common and popular subtropical fruit worldwide. Its postharvest life is very short which causes difficulties in marketing and preserving banana at good condition. To find out a better solution of this problem, the current study was conducted during 2017 in the Horticulture Laboratory, Khulna University, Bangladesh, by following the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) of experiment. Harvested banana fruits, sabri (Musa sapientum L) were treated with guava leaf and lemon extracts at different concentrations. Non-treated fruits were considered as control. Both treated and non-treated bananas were stored in covered paper carton at ambient condition. Postharvest performances of the stored fruits during storage were observed for two weeks. After two weeks of storage, lower changes in color (score 6.77), firmness (score 4.43), less TSS content (8.21%), minimum infection (48.89%) and disease severity (score 3.33) and maximum shelf life (8.75 days) were observed in banana fruit with treatment of T3 (guava leaf extract 20% + lemon extract 15%) followed by treatment of T5 (guava leaf extract 40% + lemon extract 15%) treated fruits. However, the T4 treated banana fruit showed maximum vitamin C (1.83 mg/100 g), titratable acidity (0.11%) and reduced sugar (7.13%) after two weeks of storage. In conclusion, combination of guava leaf extract (20% or 40%) + lemon extract (15%) could be suggested for long term storage and maintenance of postharvest qualities at ambient conditions. J.

Abstract: Sixteen tomato varieties were evaluated against fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera) to find out borer resistant tomato varieties. The eight varieties were collected from Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) and eight varieties from the farmer’s field of South-west Bangladesh. This field experiment was conducted in a protected net house suitable for inoculation of the fruit borer at germplasm center of Khulna University for two years (2018 and 2019). Data were collected on fruit physical characters, and borer infestation. The genotypes BARI Tomato-18, BARI Tomato-16, Ruma-VF, Pusa Ruby and Guli had the minimum weight of infested fruit (3.57%, 3.63%, 4.83%, 7.17% and 7.67%, respectively ) as well as the minimum number of infested fruits (both were bellow10%) with the minimum number of larvae of H. armigera (0.23, 0.28, 0.27, 0.54 and 0.60 larvae plant-1, respectively). BARI Tomato-8, BARI Tomato-17 and Paltola were found as more susceptible (29.71%, 26.01% and 28.95% infestation, respectively) than the others. Maximum fruit weight plant-1 was recorded from the genotypes BARI Tomato-18, BARI Tomato-19, Surakha and Paltola (2603g, 2687g, 2755g and 2731g respectively) and among these BARI Tomato-18 and Suraksa gave maximum fresh yield plant-1 (2512.77 g and 2476.53 g, respectively). The fruit infestation rate was significantly and positively correlated with fruit weight loss plant-1 (r = 0.971), larvae plant-1 (r = 0.789), fruit diameter (r = 0.567) and in idual fruit weight (r = 0.545). On the other hand, the fruit shape index (r = -0.44) and the number of fruit plant-1 (r = -0.498) were significant and negatively correlated with fruit infestation rate. It could be concluded that BARI Tomato-18 and BARI Tomato-16 are resistant as well as high yielding varieties. SAARC J. Agri., 18(2): 87-99 (2020)
