Summary

Treatment of mango (Mangifera indica cv. Kent) fruits with methyl jasmonate vapour for 20 h at 20 °C reduced chilling injury symptoms and enhanced skin colour development. After further investigation concerning ripening, cold storage, total soluble solids, sugar and organic acid levels, the conclusion is that methyl jasmonate treatment could be used to reduce decay and chilling injury symptoms and also to improve colour development of mango fruits without adversely affecting quality.
