Summary

The fruits of mango cv. Langra were harvested, washed, air dried and stored at three temperature levels, i.e. 8, 10 and 12 °C, with around 85% relative humidity, to study the physicochemical changes associated with ripening and development of chilling injury symptoms. The symptoms of chilling injury appeared at 8 or 10 °C after one week and at 12 °C after two weeks, characterized by black circular microlesions on the fruit surface. Thus, a storage temperature of more than 12 °C is suggested for prolonged cold storage of mango cv. Langra.
