AB  - The fruits of semi-soft pear (Pyrus communis) cv. Punjab Beauty harvested at 
      physiologically mature stage in 3rd week of July were packed in corrugated 
      fiberboard boxes (CFB) with low density polyethylene (LDPE) liners, CFB with high 
      density polyethylene (HDPE) liners, crates with LDPE liners, crates with HDPE 
      liners, CFB, crates and wooden boxes and stored in walk-in-cool chamber at 0-1  degrees C 
      and 90-95% RH. The fruits were analyzed after 30, 45, 60 and 75 days for 
      physiological loss in weight (PLW), fruit firmness, core browning, spoilage, 
      total soluble solids (TSS), juice acidity and sensory quality. The PLW was 
      maximum in crates while the spoilage was maximum in fruits packed in wooden 
      boxes. Core browning was more in fruits packed in crates and CFB boxes with LDPE 
      liners while minimum was in fruits packed in CFB boxes. However, core browning 
      did not occur up to 45 days of storage in any of the package. Fruits packed in 
      CFB boxes with HDPE liners effectively reduced the weight loss, spoilage and 
      retained acceptable firmness up to 75 days of storage with maximum edible 
      quality. TSS and sugars were maximum in fruits packed in wooden boxes while the 
      acidity was maximum in CFB boxes with HDPE liners. The fruits in CFB boxes with 
      HDPE liners maintained the perfect balance between sugars and acids up to 75 days 
      of storage.
