Abstract
The effect of controlled atmosphere on the ripening delay of fruits has been ascribed to its inhibitory action on ethylene biosynthesis and found to ae very much variety specific. In the present study the objective was to determine the optimal controlled atmosphere composition required to retard the ripening process of mango var. Malhka and to preserve the quality of fruits during prolonged low temperature LT storage for export purpose. Mature green fruits were given prestorage treatments 10 CO2 5 02 and 5 C02 10 O2for96 h before storing at 121DC for 24 days. Fruits treated with 5 CO2 10 O2 retained total soluble solids TSS ascorbic acid titrable acidity and pulp rupture force PRF better than control after 24 days of storage at LT. Climacteric peak was significantly delayed and carotenoid biosynthesis was retarded. Mangoes stored under 10 CO2 5 O2atmosphere developed off flavors and recorded very low sensory score at end of storage.
