Postharvest handling of avocado, mango, and lychee for export from South Africa.

ABSTRACT

A brief description is given of production areas, cultivars and total exports of avocados, mangoes and Litchi from South Africa. Packhouse and transport procedures are outlined, including sea shipment and its evaluation. Avocado fruit physiology is discussed in relation to current postharvest research on chilling injury, disease control and recommended temperature regimes. Brief reference is also made to the 'ready-to-eat' concept and avocado fruit processing. Current postharvest research on mango destined for sea export is reviewed, including fruit maturity studies, disease control and storage temperatures. Postharvest Litchi research is discussed, including SO2 treatment, low pH treatment and sodium metabisulphite dips.
