Abstract

An important alternative to traditional storage techniques is the hermetic bag. It is airtight and blocks the exchange of moisture with the surroundings. In traditional storage procedures, insect infestation was enhanced by increased moisture, high temperature, and relative humidity. Germination and storage loss can be minimized, and quality and viability can be maintained, using a hermetic bag. A replacement for conventional technologies was the hermetic bag. The stored orange and yellow color was not maintaining the moisture content in control group when compared to experimental group. The results indicated that experimental bag was maintaining 80 per cent of moisture content of colors than control bag, which revealed that, a significant relationship exist among moisture content of colors (Green, Pink and Blue) and efficiency of hermetic bag. The storage of green, pink and blue colors was found suitable for hermetic bag than control bag. It states that except yellow, the four remaining Holi colors were suitable for storing in hermetic bag when compared to normal control bag. These bags were also helpful to store different kinds of seeds/grains and cost-effective to use.

Conclusion

From the above study it was concluded that, the hermetic bag offered an alternative to conventional technologies. The stored orange and yellow color was not maintaining the moisture content in control group when compared to experimental group. The results indicated that experimental bag was maintaining 80 per cent of moisture content of colors than control bag, which revealed that, there exist a significant relationship between moisture content of colors (Green, Pink and Blue) and efficiency of hermetic bag. The storage of green, pink and blue colors was found maintaining moisture compared to orange and yellow in hermetic bag than control bag.
