In the present study extension of shelf life in curry leaf is investigated through prepackaging with different gauge levels of polythene bags (100,200,300,400 and 500) and with different ventilation levels viz., 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 packed and the physical parameters were evaluated. Among the prepackaging treatment, curry leaf packed in 100 gauge polythene bags with no ventilation recorded a minimum physiological loss in weight (38.67 %) with a least loss of moisture content (77.00 %) and with better shelf life(16 days) compared to the leaves packed in 300 gauge polythene bags with a higher physiological loss in weight.
