<br/><br/> RODIS, ALLAN JERICO DIOKNO, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, April 1992. EVALUATION OF COSMIC ENERGY COLLECTOR FOR FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRESERVATION. Adviser: Eng' r Conrado M. Baltazar.<br/>A study was conducted at the Department of Engineering and Agro-Industrial Technology to verify the principles involved in using Ernyform and to evaluate the Ernyform for fruit and vegetable preservation.<br/>The storage device was assembled for a period of one day with a labor fee of P 100 per day. The materials for the construction of the storage device cost P 178. Al l in al I the storage device cost P278 Including the labor fee.<br/>Three different kinds of fruits and vegetables were used in the evaluation of the Ernyform. The fruits were pineapple, banana, and calamansi while the vegetables were, mustard, tomato, and eggplant. The Ernyform was evaluated using the independent var i ab les; temperature and relative humidity, and dependent variables: quality, preserve life and weight loss.<br/>Results showed that vegetables stored in the Ernyform and evapocooler retained their good qual i ty. Furthermore, fruits stored in the Ernyform had a longer preserve I if e compared to the other media.<br/>
