Effect of postharvest calcium application on mango ripening and storage.

 

The effect of Ca on the ripening of mango (cv. Haden) fruits (harvested in Venezuela) was investigated. Fruits were either dipped in CaCl2 for 2 h, or CaCl2 was infiltrated into fruits for 10 min. Fruits were stored at 15 deg C, 90% RH. Ca treatment extended storage life by a week. Quantification of released ethylene, and concentrations of sugars, ascorbic acid, alcohol-insoluble solids and starch indicated that postharvest application of Ca2+ slightly delayed ripening. The rate of FW loss was lower in Ca-treated fruits.
