Abstract

Ethylene production of guava fruit (Psidiumguajava L.) increased in ripening phase. Tomaintain the quality of
fruit so the ethylene should be reduced fromstorage roomto inhibited respiration rate. The aims of this research
were: (1) to find out the effect of KMnO4 against guava shelflife based on weight lose, hardness, soluble solid
content, and vitaminC as parameters, and (2) to known the best treatment. The researchwas use experimental
desainwith 5 treatmentswereP0=without KMnO4,P1=0,6gKMnO4+absorber, P2=1,2g KMnO4+absorber,P3=1,8g
KMnO4+absorber, dan P4=2,4g KMnO4+absorber and 4 repeatation. Datawas analized by Annova and Duncan
Test at =5%. The result showed that shelflife of guava treated by KMnO4was 8 dayswhilewithout KMnO4was 6
days. Based on Annova at =5%, KMnO4 treatment was significant on weight lose and hardness
parameters butwas not significant on soluble solid content and vitamin C parameters. The best treatment in this
researchwas P4 (2,4g KMnO4+absorber).
