Summary

US mangoes were irradiated in Canada with cobalt 60 at a maximum of 0.90 kilogray. Although, the irradiation did not extend the shelf-life of mangoes, the pulp of irradiated mangoes was preferred for its colour, odour, taste and texture until day 9. The panelists preferred darker orange colour, fragrant, sweeter and softer mangoes. Irradiation increased the softness, gave slight variations in the colour of the skin and the pulp, while the total soluble solids content rose until day 7.
