The six liquid mediums consisting of different concentration of glacial acetic acid and NaCl in water were used to control the post harvest decay in aonla fruits of Chakaiya cultivar. The fruits were dipped into liquid mediums in plastic buckets and stored at ambient temperature varying from 8.75 to 23.5°C. Following the treatment, fruits could be stored into water containing 10% NaCl and 1% acetic acid up to 85 days at ambient temperature of 8.75 to 23.5°C without any post harvest decay.
