Effect of quarantine treatments on the carbohydrate and organic acid content of mangoes (cv. Tommy Atkins)

Hot water treatments combined with cold storage as a tool for Ectomyelois ceratoniae mortality and maintenance of Deglet Noor palm date quality

“…HWT did not affect glucose and fructose concentrations (Table 5). In contrast, Cruz et al (2012) reported that HWT applied to mangoes at 46 C for 90 min increased glucose and fructose content. Mirdehghan et al (2006) also reported a significant increase of glucose and fructose content in pomegranate arils treated with HWT and added that the increase of sugar concentrations due to heat treatments could be attributed to the increase in glucosidase, galactosidase, and arabinose activities, which would release sugars from cell wall polymers.…”

Improving phytosanitary irradiation treatment of mangoes using Monte Carlo simulation

“…A ''generic'' refers to a treatment for a broad group of pests on all commodities. In a previous study, Tommy Atkins mangoes irradiated at 0.4 kGy showed similar quality profiles to those treated with hot water (Cruz et al, 2012).…”

“…Mangoes irradiated at 0.4 kGy had quality attribute profiles (pH, texture, organic acid, and carbohydrate content) similar to those of non-irradiated mangoes (Cruz et al, 2012;Uthairatanakij et al, 2006). However, the fruit receiving a dose of 1.0 kGy showed a greater loss of texture immediately after irradiation, resulting in severe changes in the structure of the cell wall after storage of 20 days (Silva et al, 2012).…”

Postharvest handling practices and irradiation increase lenticel discolouration in ‘B74’ mango fruit

“…Delays in skin de-greening after irradiation treatment have also been reported in 'Kensington Pride' mango (Boag, Johnson, Izard, Murray, & Fitzsimmons, 1990;Jessup, Rigney, & Wills, 1988;McLauchlan et al, 1990). This may be due to the formation of free radicals during irradiation, which can alter chlorophyll structure, and/or a possible inhibition of the synthesis of carotenoids (Cruz, Soares, Fabbri, Cordenunsi, & Sabato, 2012).…”
