Effect of storage atmosphere and temperature on soluble solids in mamey amarillo (Mammea americana L.) fruits.

The effects of storage conditions on the total soluble solids (TSS) and storage quality of mamey amarillo (M. americana) fruits harvested at the mature green stage were investigated. Fruits were stored for 2 weeks in normal or controlled atmosphere (CA; 5.1% carbon dioxide + 5.6% oxygen + 89.3% nitrogen) at 15 plus or minus 2 or 27 plus or minus 2 deg C. TSS content increased with increasing storage temperature. It was highest in fruits stored at 27 plus or minus 2 deg C under normal atmosphere. For fruits stored in CA, temperature did not affect TSS. Titratable acidity, pH and total sugar concentration increased with increasing temperature, while reducing sugars content decreased. Storage of mamey amarillo fruits at 15 plus or minus 2 deg C under CA for 2 weeks retarded the maturation of the fruits.
