Nowadays Thailand cannot export irradiated mangoes to USA because irradiation causes browning and blackened vien symptoms on the skin and pulp, respectively. The severity of these symptoms increases with storage period and/or ripening. Thus, mangoes cv. Nam Dokmai No. 4 without (control) or with CK wax coating before irradiation at 850 grays were stored at 12oC for 3 weeks. Thereafter, the fruits were ripened with 1,000 ppm ethephon at 20oC for 3 days before storage at 10oC for 8 days. Storage life, weight loss and fruit damage were investigated. The results showed that the storage life of non-coated and coated fruits were 0 and 6 days, respectively. The non-coated mangoes had higher weight loss than the coated ones. The damage to the non-coated fruits in the form of browning on the skin and blackened viens on the pulp was found after transfer from the ripening room, while the coated fruits could be stored at 10oC for 6 days without any damage. However, browning occurred in the pulp adjacent to the seed after 8 days in storage.
