Abstract: Research work was carried out in the department of Post-Harvest Technology of Horticultural Crops after procuring the broccoli samples cultivated in Horticulture Research Station, Mondouri. Effectiveness of packaging for storing broccoli head in room condition was done using polypropylene bags, CFB box, polyethene bags and stretch wrap with different perforation to find the best packaging which would extend the shelf life as well as good physicochemical properties compared to the control. The changes during the storage period was analysed by completely randomised design with three replications regarding ascorbic acid, chlorophyll, total soluble solids etc. No yellowing occurred in polypropylene (PE) and polyethylene bag with no perforation. Fungal decay was least in polypropylene (PP) bag with no perforation while there was no decay in unpacked broccoli while sensory analysis gave best smell as well as texture score in PP with no perforation which is the most important acceptability criteria.
