Sound and uniformly mature seedless guava fruits were divided into three groups the first one dipped in 2, 3, 4 % CaCI₂, dissolved in cold water at 5 °C, for 5 minutes and the second group with the same concentrations of CaCI₂, dissolved in hot water at 40 °C, for 5 minutes and the third group untreated fruits as a control. The three groups stored at 8 °C and 85-90 % RH. Ca⁺² treatments prolonged the storage period, maintained fruit quality and had the highest initial content ofCa⁺² and V.C, significantly maintained fruit firmness and improved marketability of fruit compared to control treatment.
