Effect of postharvest treatments and storage condition on the quality of mango during storage.

Mango cv. Langra fruits that had been washed with tap water, air dried, and treated with Benguard (0.05%) to control fungal infection were dipped for 2 minutes in aqueous solution of wax emulsion (4, 6, and 8%), calcium nitrate (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5%), and GA3 [gibberellic acid] (100, 200, and 300 ppm). The control fruits were dipped in distilled water for the same period of time. The postharvest application of wax emulsion (8%) and calcium nitrate (1.0%) in combination with cool chamber storage markedly reduced the rate of ripening and helped to retain the quality characteristics of fruits during storage. At the end of the storage period, minimum total soluble solid, total sugar, and reducing sugar contents and maximum acidity were recorded for wax emulsion (8%)+cool chamber storage. Maximum ascorbic acid and highest organoleptic score were obtained with calcium nitrate (1%)+cool chamber storage.
