The aim of this research was to acquire packaging that can uphold the quality of mangosteen fruit while
being transported and stored. A Randomized Group Design Factorial method was used, where the first
factor is the location of ventilation and the second factor is a combination of ventilation types. The first
factor comprises two levels, specifically, the center location of the packaging surface (L1) and a uniform
distribution on the surface of the packaging (L2). The second factor comprises three levels: completely
round type (V1), completely oval type (V2), and a combination of oval and round (V3). The ventilation
dimension for all treatments was 3.45% of the total packaging area. Each treatment was replicated three
times. A 5 kg capacity corrugated carton of dimensions 27 cm x 22 cm x 22 cm in the full-flap type was
utilized for packaging, with the fruit arranged in the Face Centered Cubic type. Packaging tests were
conducted by transporting mangosteen fruits in packaging through the city and on poorly surfaced roads.
The testing parameters comprised the determination of packaging's compressive strength, the distribution
of temperature within the packaging, the total soluble solids value of the fruits, the pH value of the fruits
and the percentage of weight loss. The obtained data were analysed by analysis of variance and if there was
an effect of treatment on the observed parameters, the Duncan test was applied. The test results highlight
the significant impact of treatment interaction on mangosteen fruit quality parameters including weight
loss, TPT, and fruit pH. The packaging design measured at 27cm x 22cm x 22cm demonstrated a
compressive strength value of 284 kgf. The treatment which produced the lowest weight loss of 2.30%,
a TPT value of 15.30 and pH 2.6, is L1V1. This treatment is optimal for packaging mangosteen fruit, as it
is able to maintain the fruit's quality.
