Ripening behaviour of 'Kesar' mangoes in relation to specific gravity.

A whole Kesar mango tree was harvested when a few tree ripened fruits (known as sakh) were noticed and categorized into 3 specific gravity groups, i.e. <1.00, 1-1.02 and >1.02. At harvest, and on storage and ripening, total soluble solids (TSS) and sugars were positively correlated, whereas acidity and ascorbic acid were negatively correlated to the specific gravity of fruits. The fruits with specific gravity of <1 did not ripen normally until the end of storage, and those with specific gravity of 1.02 showed impaired ripening, with slightly earlier over ripening. At optimum maturity, fruits belonging to specific gravity groups 1-1.02 showed better ripening qualities and suitability for transport and storage. A carbendazim (as Bavistin) hot dip (1000 ppm) for 10 minutes reduced postharvest losses and improved shelf life. By adopting the above criterion, 84% of fruits were matured from a whole harvested tree at sakh stage. The physiological and biochemical changes, and organoleptic properties wer

e investigated during storage, and are discussed.
