The present investigation was carried out to test the efficacy of various post harvest treatments using gamma irradiation, growth retardants and coatings on quality and sensory parameters of Kagzi lime under ambient conditions. Among various treatments, pure coconut oil coating was very effective as higher TSS, acidity, vitamin C, juice content, flavour, appearance and taste were retained during storage. Pure coconut oil coated fruits maintained natural light-green colour upto 24 days of storage, which was acceptable to consumers.
