“…Further, it has been indicated that BW treatment was unable to control respiration or evapotranspiration from papaya fruits. Previous studies that evaluate efficacy of BW washing treatment for tomato and mango had shown similar results (Champathi and Tiwari 2017 & 2018) [4,5] .…”

“…However, two previous studies that evaluate efficacy of BW washing treatment for tomato and mango had shown, this treatment was not effective for extending shelf-life of that fruits. But, these studies were shown that BW treatment was somewhat effective to improve visual quality of these fruits (Champathi and Tiwari 2017 & 2018) [4,5] . Hence, this research study was conducted for scientific evaluation of BW product suitability as fruits washer for papaya fruits.…”

Papaya is most commonly grown fruits crop in tropical regions of world. About 25% -40% of postproduction losses of papaya can be observed specially in developing countries. Considerable amount of post-harvest losses of papaya is occurred due to un-hygienic conditions during post-production operations. Fruits hygiene condition is very important in order to extend its post-harvest self-life. Further, cleaning and washing practices are also very important in order to improve hygienic condition of product and directly affected to its quality. This study was conducted for scientific evaluation product call BiOWiSH™ (BW) that introduced as a fruits washer and sanitizer. BW washing treatment was tested and compare with existing non-washing practices for extending the shelf life papaya. Shelf-life improvement was evaluated by altering pattern of weight loss, visual quality, firmness, total soluble solids, pH and colour. Results revealed that BW treatment was only affected marginally for improving visual quality of papaya, it was not affected significantly for altering other parameters i.e. weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids, pH and colour in comparison to non-washed papaya. Marginal visual quality improvement indicate that BW treatment was able to control microbial contamination of papaya some extend. Overall, it can be concluded that BW washing treatment was not significantly affected to improve shelf-life of papaya.

“…• Integration of renewable energy sources into the energy-intensive post-harvest management operations • Use of eco-friendly technologies for controlling post-harvest pests and diseases In Sri Lanka, some noteworthy work has been done in reducing the post-harvest losses and improving the storage and shelf-life of agricultural materials in the past decade [117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125]. The National Institute of Post-Harvest Management is pioneering the research in this regard whereas state attention has also been drawn on improving post-harvest product management through the development and implementation of policies and guidelines.…”

This paper offers a comprehensive account on the emerging concepts and practices in post-harvest management of horticultural crops. Post-harvest science and technology facilitates the industries to deliver safe, nutritious and fresh horticultural products to consumers at the end of the supply chain from farm to mouth. Substantial food wastages, which occur in the post-harvest period and such losses, could be reduced by improved post-harvest research, advancement, training and education. At present, many novel technologies and techniques are already being implemented to reduce the post-harvest losses which are witnessed at harvesting, during packing and transportation, in wholesale and retail markets, and during delays at various levels of handling. Improvements are also required to minimize the losses effectively and keep the process-cost low so that it could be applicable at commercial scale in a wide range of economic levels. By developing the practices utilized at post-harvest phase, the expenses accompanying for additional processing paces could also be reduced. Future studies should also be focused on incorporating various emerging technologies with post-harvest practices and appropriate improved practices should be adopted to an existing value chain and marketing system.
