Summary

Mango fruits (cultivars Keitt and Palmer) harvested at the preclimacteric stage were stored for 18 days at 10 or 15 °C (85-90% RH) in bags containing vermiculite of silica-gel impregnated with saturated aqueous KMnO(4) for ethylene absorption. Total soluble solids, alcohol insoluble solids and starch contents after storage were significantly higher in Keitt fruits than in Palmer fruits. Fruit chemical quality after storage was best in fruits stored at 10 °C with vermiculite-KMnO(4).
