This work aimed to evaluate the postharvest quality of custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) fruits submitted to different packaging under refrigerated storage. Fruits were unpacked (control), individually packed in polyvinylchloride (PVC) film, or packed in expanded polystyrene trays enveloped in PVC film, and tested during five periods of storage (0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 days) at 10°C. Data of mass loss, pulp hardness, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, vitamin C, and water activity (WA) were recorded at harvest and every 4 days over the storage period. Custard apple fruits stored at 10°C and packed in PVC film had reduced mass loss. The modified atmosphere packaging also resulted in decreased loss of firmness, providing about a 12 day postharvest life. Soluble solids and total titratable acidity concentrations did not increase significantly during storage. All fruits presented reduction of water activity (WA) during the storage period. The use of packaging films significantly reduced weight loss, preserved firmness and color of fruit. The modified atmosphere allowed for a shelf-life of 12 days at 10°C.
