Summary

The effects of detergents and mango sap on the development and anatomy of "etch", a physiological skin disorder in mango fruit, were examined. Etch was induced on fruit dipped in the wetting agent Agral at high concentrations. Fruit kept in contact with pads saturated with low concentrations of detergents tended to develop etch at the perimeter of the contact area. Etch symptoms increased in severity fruit ripening and increasing contact times with detergent. Several tests were performed. The relevance of the results to mango postharvest handling systems is discussed.
