ABSTRACT
The respiration rate of mango fruits rose from 23.2 mg CO2 kg-1 h-1 at harvest to 132.9 mg CO2 kg-1 h-1 at 8 days after harvest. At the same time, pulp firmness fell from >30 p/cm2 to 8-9 p/cm2. TSS, and reducing and non-reducing sugars increased markedly up to 5 days after harvest, and the peel colour changed from dark green to pale green. After 14 days, sugar contents decreased and flavour was impaired; peel colour became yellowish green.
