The quality of Kensington mangoes from 2 major Queensland production regions was evaluated following a hot air disinfestation treatment (HAT; 46.5 deg C seed surface temperature held for 10 min under conditions of high humidity) combined with a disease control treatment (55 deg water for 5 min) prior to HAT, and storage conditions likely to be encountered during air shipment to Japan (either 10 deg for 5 days plus 22 deg for 5 days, or 13 deg for 5 days plus 22 deg for 5 days, or 22 deg for 10 days). Final quality was optimum if fruits were treated with HAT alone and stored at 22 deg . Fruit injury, in the form of skin browning and lenticel spotting, was particularly severe in HAT + disease control fruits stored at 10/22 deg . Storage at 10 deg combined with heat treatments may be too stressful to fruit physiology, leading to fruit injury and reduced fruit quality at the market destination.
