Kinnow mandarin is an important fruit of India but is highly perishable and liable to be spoiled under ambient conditions. Present investigation was conducted to study the effect various concentrations of Gum Arabic, Calcium Lactate and Glycerin and their different combination on shelf life of Kinnow fruits during storage at room temperature. Physiological loss in weight increased with increase in the period of storage. Total soluble solids, total sugars and reducing sugars were also increased up to 49 days of storage period in all treatments. However non-reducing sugar content was decreased up to 7th day thereafter it increased up to 49th day of storage. All coatings were effective to check the physiological loss in weight and maintain the sugar content of the kinnow fruits. However Gum Arabic 10% coating was the most effective to minimize the physiological loss in weight and maintained the quality parameters at all period of storage.
