Effect of hydrocooling and Bavistin dip on the shelf life and quality of mango during storage under various environments.

Fruits of the mango cultivars Kesar, Totapuri and Vanraj were harvested with stalks (2.5 cm), hydrocooled at 12 deg C, given a postharvest dip of carbendazim (as Bavistin, 1000 ppm), and were then stored at room temperature (23.5-35.1 deg , 47.5-80.3% RH) or in a low cost, low-energy-input cool chamber (22.0-26.1 deg , 92-95% RH). The shelf lives of Kesar, Totapuri and Vanraj were extended up to 25, 36 and 31 days, respectively, when stored in the cool chamber. The shelf lives of these cultivars were approx equal to 17, 21 and 19 days, respectively, when stored at room temperature. Percentage physiological weight loss was lower and organoleptic scores were higher in fruits stored in the cool chamber than in fruits stored at room temperature. The cool chamber-stored fruits were fresh-looking, firm and attractive. The fruits which were not dipped in carbendazim became infected with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides [Glomerella cingulata] and Diplodia natalensis [Botryodiplodia theobromae].
