Abstract
The investigations were carried out on five apple varieties viz., Golden Delicious, Mashhadi, King Amri, Kalakulu and Amri to study the effect of ordinary storage at room temperature in the month of September at two weeks interval. The physical analysis consisted of colour, general appearance and weight loss. During first two weeks of storage, there was no change in colour and then it was changed gradually. During first two weeks the skin of fruits remained tight, firm, soft and attractive while during remaining four weeks of storage, it became loose and shriveled in all apple varieties. Storage showed significant effect on weight losses. The highest weight loss was (19.2%) in Amri and less weight loss was observed (16.3%) in Kalakulu during six week storage at room temperature.
