dc.description.abstract	Trials were conducted to make a comparative study of the effect of two shellac preparations, viz., shellac "AL" and "DL" grades and paraffin on the storage life of husked nuts. Paraffin was found to be the best among the materials tried. Even after 300 days only 35 per cent of the nuts stored were found to get dried up. All control nuts dried up within the first 75 days of storage. The "AL" and ''DL" grades of lac were found to be only slightly better than the control. There was indication that the period of storage without driage could be increased by increasing the thickness of paraffin coating. Percentage loss in weight was less in the case of thick - shelled nuts.	en_US
