Freshly harvested, tender green okra fruits cv. Sinnova were subjected to different post harvest treatments viz.,T-1 = Virosil Agro (0.5%), T-2 = NaOCl (100 ppm Cl), T-3 = Ca(OCl)(2) (100 ppm Cl), T-4 = Virosil Agro + wax (1%), T-5 = NaOCl (100 ppm Cl) + wax (1%), T-6 = Ca(OCl)(2) (100 ppm Cl) + wax (1%), T-7 = wax (1%) and packed in polypropylene packages with no perforation in ambient condition (maximum and minimum temperature varied from 23 to 24 degrees C and 19 degrees to 22 degrees C, respectively and relative humidity from 47 to 65%). Considering the overall quality it was found that T-5 was the best treatment followed by T-7, T-4 and T-1. However, T-7 retained better ascorbic acid and chlorophyll during later period of storage.
