However, like other citrus species, it is highly perishable and susceptible to postharvest quality deterioration. Despite its growing importance, limited research has examined how commercial packaging and storage temperature affect its quality. Therefore, this study investigated the combined effects of three commonly used types of packaging (net bags, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) punnets and moulded cardboard clamshells) and three storage temperatures (room temperature (RT; ~25 \u00b0C), 8 \u00b0C and 4 \u00b0C) on finger lime quality over eight weeks. The quality parameters examined included weight loss, firmness, colour, visual appearance and overall marketability, as well as nutritional properties, including total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity. Packaging and temperature both significantly affected fruit marketability. Fruit stored at RT quickly lost quality in all packaging types. Fruit stored at 4 \u00b0C retained firmness, colour, total phenolic content, flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity better than fruit stored at 25 \u00b0C or 8 \u00b0C; however, chilling injury and fungal growth developed at 4 \u00b0C, with approximately 20% of the fruit in each packaging treatment deemed unsaleable by Week 8. At 8 \u00b0C, no chilling injury, visible fungal growth or shrivelling was observed. Although approximately 60% of fruit in cardboard clamshells and net bags were classified as unsaleable because of loss of freshness, approximately 80% of fruit in punnets remained saleable until the end of the trial. Overall, storage at 8 \u00b0C in rPET punnets provided the best balance between quality retention and marketability among the combinations of packaging type and storage temperature examined in this study.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods15193476","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,28]],"date-time":"2026-09-28T15:57:57Z","timestamp":1790611077000},"page":"3476","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of Storage Temperature and Packaging Type on the Postharvest Quality of Finger Lime (Citrus australasica)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8055-0183","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanieh","family":"Noeparast","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science, Western Sydney University, Hawkesbury Campus, Richmond, NSW 2753, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5464-3376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sunil K.","family":"Panchal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science, Western Sydney University, Hawkesbury Campus, Richmond, NSW 2753, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0063-6389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul","family":"Holford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science, Western Sydney University, Hawkesbury Campus, Richmond, NSW 2753, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1395-9996","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michelle","family":"Donovan-Mak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Science, Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science, Western Sydney University, Hawkesbury Campus, Richmond, NSW 2753, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"271","DOI":"10.7751\/telopea15954","article-title":"A classification for edible citrus: An update, with a note on Murraya (Rutaceae)","volume":"25","author":"Mabberley","year":"2022","journal-title":"Telopea"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Johnson, J.B., Hungerford, N.L., Sultanbawa, Y., and Netzel, M.E.
