“…Irradiation increased (P < 0.05) the respiration rate (CO 2 production) (P < 0.05) of the broccoli. The same behavior was observed in other fresh produce undergoing irradiation treatment such as lettuce, citrus, mango, and blueberry (Han et al, 2004;Landaniya, Singh, & Wadhawan, 2003;Moreno et al, 2006aMoreno et al, , 2006bMoreno, Castell-Perez, Gomes, Da Silva, Kim, & Moreira, 2007; …”

“…Irradiation has proven to be an effective treatment for many fresh produce, particularly electron-beam irradiation (CastellPerez, Moreno, Rodriguez, & Moreira, 2004;Han, Gomes-Feitosa, Castell-Perez, Moreira, & Silva, 2004;Moreno, Castell-Perez, Gomes, Da Silva, & Moreira, 2006a, 2006bMoreno, Castell-Perez, Gomes, Da Silva, Kim, & Moreira, 2007). The advantages of this technology are high lethality, great penetration into the product core, cold application (i.e., does not increase product temperature) and, negligible quality detrimental effects, when applied properly.…”

“…Irradiation dose at 0.25 kGy and LDPE pouches was found to maintain highest total sugar content in juice at zero day. Moreno et al (2007) also reported reduction in total sugar content on irradiation at medium doses (1.5 kGy) in mango fruit. A significant decrease (P [ 0.05) in total sugar content of juice was observed when it was stored at room and low temperature.…”

Sugarcane juice was subjected following treatments viz. pasteurization at 808C for 10 min ? chemical treatments (KMS @ 150 ppm and citric acid @ 0.05%); pasteurization at 808C for 10 min ? chemical treatments (KMS @ 150 ppm and citric acid @ 0.05%) ? sterilization at 808C for 20 min. All the samples were packed in glass bottles, polyethylene Tetrapthelate (PET) bottles and low density polyethylene pouches (LDPE) and then irradiated at 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 kGy and stored for 90 days at room and low temperature. Non-irradiated samples were taken as control. On treatment moisture content, ascorbic acid, viable bacterial count and viable yeast and mold count were decreased significantly (P [ 0.05) where as no significant effect was observed on reducing and total sugars in cane juice. Among the three packaging material used glass and PET was found to be at par in increasing the shelf life of sugarcane juice in comparison to LDPE pouches. On storage, ascorbic acid and total sugars were decreased significantly (P [ 0.05). Moisture content, viable bacterial count and viable yeast mold count were increased on storage. Irradiation and packaging material statistically showed no significant differences on organoleptic properties of juice but storage showed changes in sensory scores. Among all the treatments pasteurization at 808C for 10 min ? chemical treatments (KMS @ 150 ppm and citric acid @ 0.05%) ? sterilization at 808C for 20 min was found to be best in maintain the shelf life of juice up to 60 days at room temperature and 90 days at low temperature with 1.0 kGy irradiation doses. Among glass bottles, PET bottles and LDPE pouches, glass and PET were found to be best in maintaining the quality of juice.

“…Earlier studies at lower doses were effective in preventing emergence of adult S. mangiferae and the beetles were sterilised at even lower doses (Seo et al 1973;Heather and Corcoran 1992;Follett 2001). At doses higher than 150 Gy, mango fruit quality was impaired (Moreno et al 2007).…”

Commercial mango production in Ghana is a relatively young industry faced with several pest problems including the mango stone weevil, Sternochetus mangiferae (F.). There is an urgent need to control this and other pests to facilitate access to the international export market for fresh mango fruits. A literature survey identifies stone weevil control tactics in the areas of host plant resistance, administrative and legislative controls, use of pesticides, biological control, cultural control and quarantine and phytosanitary measures that have been developed in other mango-producing areas. We assess these pest management approaches for their relevance to Ghana and West Africa, with emphasis on the research required for their appropriate, effective and sustainable use in the systems of mango production of the West African sub-region. The importance of processing and value addition technologies, as a means of circumventing the quarantine hurdles of S. mangiferae, is highlighted.
