The Kinnow fruits were stored at ambient condition for the period of 21 days. The average temperature and relative humidity were 15.8°C and 75.46 % respectively during storage period in the month of January and Initial moisture content of the Kinnowfruits was 78.52% on wet basis. This study covers, the variation in physical properties of Kinnow i.e. weight loss, bulk density, true density, porosity and spherisity were studied during storage. Weight loss of Kinnow was increased from 8.93% to 33.64%.The bulk density and true density were increased from 583.40 kg/m3 to 520.10 kg/m3 and 881.20 kg/m3 to 862.50 kg/m3 while the sphericity and porosity were decreased from 0.96 to 0.93 and 33.76% to 39.69% respectively. Weightloss of Kinnow was more influenced as compared to other physical properties over a storage period of time.
