A laboratory experimental study was conducted on studies on the effect of hot water treatment on shelf life of custard apple stored at low temperature (13ºC±1) on cv. balanagar” at Department of Horticulture, Fruit Research Station Sangareddy and framed in Factorial Completely Randomized design. Unblemished, mature fruits of custard apple cv. Balanagar of uniform size were directly picked from custard apple orchard and washed thoroughly in running tap water to remove the adherent dirt material. The hot water treatments were done with the help of hot water chamber. The machine washed with tap water and filled with water, in the middle of the chamber the iron mesh was placed. The washed fruits were placed on the mesh, the water level should be maintain up to the above the fruit. The fruits are placed in the plastic trays. The temperature levels should be maintained with thermostat. After the treatment the moisture on the surface of the fruits were dried and the fruits were stored at low temperature. Indicating the delayed ripening and hence increasing the storage /shelf life of the fruits.
