چکیده
An on-farm study was conducted among smallholder mango farmers in Embu County of Kenya to demonstrate the effectiveness simple harvest and postharvest handling practices attain cold chain extend shelf life. The recommended were compared with common farmers' practices. 'Apple', 'Ngowe', 'Kent', 'Tommy Atkins' harvested at mature green stage used study. To proper chain, fruits before 8 am, transported crates lined dampened newspapers, precooled an evaporative charcoal cooler, then transferred a Coolbot™ room (10 ± 2°C). farmers’ practices, noon, open crates, stored ambient conditions (25 7°C, 55 15%RH). air fruit pulp temperatures monitored regularly using HUATO® data loggers. During storage period, random sample 3 (per variety) per treatment taken after every days evaluate ripening related changes including physiological weight loss, colour, firmness, total soluble solids. Proper resulted low temperature (average 11°C) 25°C for handled by leading faster as evidenced lower peel/pulp colour higher For example, flesh firmness under poor decreased from initial 36.6 N, 45.9 66.5 46.8 N 3.1 2.4 3.2 ‘Apple’, ‘Ngowe’, ‘Kent’, ‘Tommy Atkins’ varieties, respectively, end while that reduced 2.3 1.5 3.9 2.9 four varieties storage. Overall, management extended life 18 days. Application coupled technologies can maintain required preserve quality This could increase marketing periods later selling processing, fruits.
