Abstract
This study investigated the effect of post-harvest storage system on Capsicum annum (tatase) and Capsicum chinense (atarodo). Capsicum annum and Capsicum chinense were bought from the local market in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State. Also, a bunch of Thamococcus daneilii leaves were also purchased with matted baskets. The first basket was laid with the leaves of T. daneilii before 15g of pepper were kept there while the second basket was not laid with the T. daneilli leaves. Each storage system was observed until spoilage occurred while temperatures were observed everyday for each sample. Fungi were isolated on Potato dextrose Agar, Malt Agar and Sabouraud Dextrose Agar. The temperature for Capsicum chinense laid with Thomatococcus danielli in a basket ranged from 30oC to 42oC. The highest temperature was observed in day 6 while the least temperature was observed in day 2. The temperature for stored Capsicum chinense in open basket ranged from 30oC to 45oC. The highest temperature was observed in day 6 while the leaset temperature was observed in day 2. The temperature for Capsicum annum stored in open basket ranged from 30oC to 38oC. The highest temperature was observed in day 6 while the least temperature was observed in day 2 and 3. The temperature for Capsicum annum laid with Thomatococcus danielli in a basket ranged from 29oC to 33oC. The highest temperature was observed in day 6 while the least temperature was observed in day 3. Results obtained showed that fungi load of Rodo (Capsicum chinense) in an open basket revealed 54.18% fungi load from the experiment. The next fungi laid with Thomatococcus danielli of Capsicum annum in a woven basket revealed 9.62% fungi load from the experiment and being the third highest. The next fungi load of Capsicum annum in an open basket revealed 7.7% fungi load from the experiment and being the lowest. And the last fungi load is laid with Thomatococcus danielli of Capsicum chinense in a basket revealed 27.9% fungi load from the experiment and being the second highest, and the total of fungi load is 52. It was concluded that packaging of Capisicum annuum and Capisicum chinense in basket with laid Thomatococcus danielii seems to hold promise in improving the shelf-life and maintaining the quality, as against storing in open woven basket.
