Effect of Controlled Atmosphere on Quality and Storage Life of Chok-Anan Mango

‘Chok Anan’ mangoes were harvested at mature (90 days after flowering) and stored in controlled atmosphere condition such as; 21% O2 + 0.03% CO2, 3% O2, 5% O2, 5% CO2 and 10% CO2 at 13°C, 90%RH. The results showed that mangoes stored in 10 % CO2 could prolong storage life for 30 days. Mangoes stored in 5 % CO2 have storage life for 25 days and 21% O2 + 0.03% CO2, 3% O2 and 5% O2 was also 20 days. Furthermore, 10% CO2 also effects o­n suppression of respiration rate, reduction of ethylene production, firmness change, weight loss and peel/pulp color, without of fermentation metabolites and remained good quality.
