The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of packaging materials on the quality and shelf life of country bean ( Lablab niger ) using passive modification of modified atmosphere packaging system. The modified atmosphere was created by making perforation in the packets made by polypropylene. Bean pre-treated with chlorine water and then packaging in selected polypropylene resulted substantial reduction in losses caused by weight loss and rotting/shriveling. These treatment combinations also considerably retained vitamin C, β-carotene, moisture content, etc. Under this condition, the retention of quality and shelf life of bean could be extended upto 8 days at ambient condition as compared to non-treated and without packaging. Key Words: Packaging techniques; chlorination; shelf life; country bean.  DOI: 10.3329/bjar.v34i4.5838 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 34(4) : 623-631, December 2009
