Summary

Mango fruits harvested at the preclimacteric stage were dipped in hot water for 30 minutes prior to storage at 5 °C for 2, 4 or 6 weeks in cardboard boxes. After storage, the fruits were kept at 20 °C until ripe. Dipping in water at 38 °C significantly reduced chilling injury. Hot water treatment had significant but variable effects on pulp colour parameters.
