Postharvest life of mango (Mangifera indica L., cv. Tommy Atkins): the influence of temperature and state of maturity.

Mango cv. Tommy Atkins fruits harvested 75, 90, 105 or 120 days after the artificial induction of flowering were precooled and stored in a refrigerated room (10 plus or minus 1 deg C and 85% RH) for 15 or 30 days. Another batch of fruits was stored at room temperature (30 plus or minus 0.9 deg C and 60.8 plus or minus 4% RH). During storage in all treatments, weight loss and increases in the total soluble solids content, pH and ratio of total soluble solids/total titratable acidity were observed, while total titratable acidity decreased. Fruit maturation started 105 after days artificial induction of flowering. Refrigeration extended storage life - the storage life of fruits stored at room temperature was about 8 days while that of fruits for 30 days in the refrigerated room was about 35 days.
