An experiment entitled “Effect of post-harvest treatment on shelf life and quality of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana L.) cv. apple” was conducted at Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Siksha ‘O’ Anusandhan (Deemed to be university) during 2019-20. The experiment was carried out to study about different combination of chemical effect and storage condition on shelf life and quality of ber. The ber fruits were treated with different concentrations of chemicals such as CaCl2 @ 0.5%, CaCl2 @ 1%, Ca(NO3)2 @ 0.5%, Ca(NO3)2 @ 1%, and water spray as a control with two storage conditions ambient and cold storage condition. The result of the present investigation revealed that the ber fruit treated with Ca(NO3)2 @ 1% in cold storage condition (T9) recorded highest total soluble solids (TSS) (14.76 °Brix), total sugar (15.31%), reducing sugar (7.96%), non – reducing sugar (8.38%)with minimum titratable acidity (0.140%).
