An experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre, Chauras, HNB Garhwal University, Srinagar Garhwal, Uttarakhand, India during autumn season 2017. The present investigation on improvement of shelf life of custard apple (Annona squamosa L.)cv. Balanagar was conducted with treatment having polypropylene bags with different number of holes. The experimental results showed that significantly lowest physiological loss in weight (1.27%) was recorded under the treatment (T3) having 24 holes in polypropylene bag while highest physiological loss in weight (2.42%) was noted with the treatment (T8). Significantly highest TSS (25.98o Brix) was estimated in polypropylene bags with 24 holes (T3) treatment and lowest TSS (20.78o Brix) were recorded under control (T8). The highest total sugar (20.59%) was found in the treatment (T3) whereas treatment T8showed the lowest total sugar (16.66%).
