Aim of this study is to analyse the percentage of weight loss in dragon fruit by keeping at different physical condition. We need to store fruits and vegetable at particular optimum physical condition because it is highly Vanishable. Vanishable means they can spoil very easily, because of high moisture content transpiration rate is also very high and since they are living commodity they undergo respiration. In this experiment a case study is conducted at different temperature of 12℃,8℃and 4℃. As the weight is decreased the firmness of fruit also decreases.
