Post-harvest treatment of wild mango (Irvingia gabonensis) for improved shelf life.

The effectiveness of hot water, chemicals, wax and film packaging in extending the post-harvest life of wild mango under tropical ambient conditions was investigated. Dipping wild mangoes in hot (55 degrees C) water or hot 0.1% benomyl, 0.5% sodium dehydroacetate or 0.5% Na2SO5, followed by waxing or packaging in boxes overwrapped with stretch PVC film, delayed ripening, controlled decay, minimised weight loss and extended the shelf life of the fruits when held at 22-35 degrees C and 70-95% relative humidity without adverse effects on visual and chemical qualities. The best results were obtained when PVC film packaging was preceded by a sulphite dip.
