During storage there are changes in the fruit quality. The aims of this research were to study the changes of sapodilla fruit quality during storage period towards fruit firmness, moisture content and total soluble solids (TSS).

The results showed that the different storage period affected the sapodilla quality parameters such as fruit firmness, moisture content and total soluble solids.
