The study was conducted to determine the possibility of controlling the ripening of soursop during postharvest storage and know the effect of chemicals to soursop fruit and to determine which chemical has the capacity in controlling the post harvest disease.

Twenty freshly picked soursop fruits were grouped into four treatments. TO (control), T1 (100 ppm of hypochlorous acid), T2 (100 ppm of sulfamic acid) and T3 (100 ppm of sodium-o-phenylphenate). Each fruit was stored and observed for five days after the chemicals had been applied to soursop fruits.

Result showed that 100 ppm of hypochlorous acid can control the ripening of soursop without hazardous effect to its taste and appearance.
