Summary

The aim of this study was to determine when black flesh ("pulpa negra") begins to appear in Haden mango fruits during postharvest storage and its relationship to fruit quality. The experimental unit consisted of one fruit with 10 replicates. The experimental design involved the use of random blocks. The variables were incidence and severity of black flesh, weight loss, firmness, total soluble solids and malic acid. The incidence of black flesh was observed in mango fruits starting 22 days after harvest. The incidence and severity of black flesh increased with time after harvest. Soluble solid concentration increased during storage, and firmness and malic acid content decreased. The fruits that developed black flesh showed marked weight losses, less firmness and lower malic acid concentration.
