Summary

Modified and controlled atmospheres delayed fruit ripening. Both modified and controlled atmospheres increased the activity of ATP:phosphofructokinase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and pyruvate decarboxylase, but did not affect the activity of pyruvate kinase. Modified atmosphere decreased the activity of PPi:phosphofructokinase. There was no indication of any injury and fruits ripened normally. Sensory evaluation did not indicate the presence of off-odours and off-flavours. Application of modified/controlled atmospheres for post-harvest insect control in mango fruit, is possible.
