摘要
In experiments conducted in the Research Laboratory of Palli Siksha Bhavana (Institute of Agriculture), Visva-Bharati during 2002 and 2003, it was revealed that the best packing material for storing gur during monsoon season was heat-sealed LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) packet of 150 gauge followed by glass jars. LDPE packets prevented moisture ingress, fall in pH and inversion of sucrose in the stored gur to the maximum extent. However, colour of gur in LDPE packets was darker as compared to gur stored in glass jars. PET (Pory Ethylene Terephthalate) jars were as good as glass jars but the stored gur darkened more in PET jars. Canisters were better in comparison to painted earthen pots provided those were with airtight lid.
