Influence of Postharvest Chemical Treatments on Shelf Life and Quality of 'Baneshan' Mango Harvested at Different Maturity Stages

Chemical Fruit Quality of Alphonso Mango as Influenced by Packaging and Cushioning Material after Long Distance Road Transportation

“…Further the decrease in acidity content in packed fruits was more probably due to rapid utilization of acids in respiration process such changes might lead to early and fast ripening this could be main reason for the fast loss of acidity in CFB boxes with tissue paper in which early and fast ripening was observed. This finding are in accordance with the finding observed by Joshi and Roy (1986) and Padhye (1997) in Alphonso mangoes, Rathore et al, (2007), Tefera et al, (2007),Chang-bin Wei et al, (2013), Kumar et al, (2013).…”

“…The high reducing sugars under tissue paper (C 3 ), paddy straw (C 1 ) and grass (C 2 ) might be due to effective and accelerated hydrolytic changes which brought effective breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simple sugars (Rathore et al, 2007). The similar trend of high reducing sugars in mangoes under different packaging, is also reported by Padhye (1997), Chang-bin Wei et al, (2013) and Kumar et al, (2013) …”

“…The similar trend of high total sugars due to wooden (P 1 ) and CFB boxes (P 4 ) were also reported by Joshi and Roy (1986), and Padhye (1997), Chang-bin Wei et al, (2013) and Kumar et al, (2013).…”

“…Similar trend was continued till 14DAP, as maximum TSS was observed in P 1 C 1 -wooden box with paddy straw (18.0 0 B), which was followed by P 4 C 3 -Corrugated fibre board box with tissue paper (17.63 0 B) whereas minimum TSS was observed in P 5 C 4 -loose fruits without cushioning material(14.13 0 B). Similar results were reported by Padhye 1997 in Alphonso, Carrillo -Lopez et al, (2000) in "Haden" mango, Rathore et al, (2007) in Dashehari mango, and Kumar et al, (2013) in Baneshan mangoes.…”
