Intermittent warming and cooling cycles in alleviating chilling injury of the Julie mango (Mangifera indica).

Author(s) : MOHAMMED A., SANKAT C. K.

Summary

Mature, green mango cv. Julie fruits were subjected to one or two cyclical cooling and warming regimes for up to 35 days, then placed at 28 deg C (ambient temperature) to ripen. Fruits subjected to a cycle of 12 hours at 5 deg C followed by 12 hours at 16 deg C showed good ripening characteristics when stored for up to 28 days. Fruits subjected to a cycle of 18 hours at 5 deg C followed by 6 hours at 16 deg C showed good storage quality and subsequent ripening when stored for up to 14 days, but with longer storage periods, chilling injury severely reduced shelf life.
