Effects of hot air treatments on the postharvest physiology and quality of mango fruit.

The effect of hot air treatments at 44 deg C and 50% RH for 160 and 220 min, were investigated on the physiology and quality of Manila and Oro mango fruits stored at 10 deg C and 85% RH for up to 20 and 32 days, respectively. No injury was observed in Manila fruits exposed for 160 or 220 min, but injury was observed in Oro fruits after more than or equal to 24 days' storage at 10 deg C and 85% RH. Some of the injured fruits failed to ripen. Heat treatment (especially for 160 min) delayed ripening in Manila fruits, as measured by colour and texture changes, compared to the control.
