Abstract:Postharvest loss of fruit and vegetables especially mango, is a major challenge of agriculture. A research was therefore conducted to evaluate the quality of fresh mango fruits stored in two evaporative coolers, a non-cladded burnt-clay-brick (NBBEC) and an aluminum-cladded burnt-clay-brick evaporative coolers (ABBEC) to reduce postharvest loss. The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory attributes of mango stored in the coolers and in ambient were evaluated. Metabolic rates of mango were highest in ambi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
