Shelf-life of fruit was significantly enhanced with minimum ripening percentage, higher number of healthy fruit percentage in Kesar mango having sp. gr. < 1.00 (M3) fallowed by sp. gr. 1.00-1.02 (M2). Wax coating 6 per cent (R3) was effective to increasing the shelf-life of fruit, ripening days, healthy fruit per cent and minimum ripening per cent. Soft-rot diseases incidence was does not found in hot water (R1) and bavistin (R2) treatments. A comparative study on the effect of low temperature storage of fresh harvested mango stored at 15°C (T1) and 20°C (T2) was made with respect to physiological changes. Not only delay the ripening percentage with ripening day, but also increase the healthy fruit per cent in lower temperature at 15°C of storage temperature with 85 per cent RH up to 42nd days of shelf-life.

Abstract


Shelf-life of fruit was significantly enhanced with minimum ripening percentage, higher number of healthy fruit percentage in Kesar mango having sp. gr. < 1.00 (M3) fallowed by sp. gr. 1.00-1.02 (M2). Wax coating 6 per cent (R3) was effective to increasing the shelf-life of fruit, ripening days, healthy fruit per cent and minimum ripening per cent. Soft-rot diseases incidence was does not found in hot water (R1) and bavistin (R2) treatments. A comparative study on the effect of low temperature storage of fresh harvested mango stored at 15°C (T1) and 20°C (T2) was made with respect to physiological changes. Not only delay the ripening percentage with ripening day, but also increase the healthy fruit per cent in lower temperature at 15°C of storage temperature with 85 per cent RH up to 42nd days of shelf-life.
