Heat treatments affect development chilling injury, respiration, ethylene production and fruit quality of mango.

The effects of hot water and hot air treatments on the reduction of chilling injury and quality of mango fruits (cv. Kensington Pride) were investigated. Heat treatments included: conditioning only, exposure to 38-40 deg C for 14 h (T1); conditioning followed by hot water treatment for 10 minutes at 46-48 deg C (T2); conditioning followed by hot air treatment at 46-48 deg C for 10 minutes (T3); and hot air treatment only for 10 minutes at 46-48 deg C (T4). Treated and untreated fruits were stored at 5 deg C. Heat treatments did not result in a substantial reduction in chilling injury development after 21 and 35 days of storage at 5 deg C. All heat treatments increased respiration rate, but ethylene production, physiological weight loss during storage and total soluble solids were increased only by some heat treatments.
