The Quality Maintenance and Extending Storage Life of Mango Fruit after Postharvest Treatments
نویسنده
چکیده
The quality attributes and storage life of ‘Jinhwang’ mango fruit can be effectively maintained with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) application and/or chitosan coating. ‘Jinhwang’ mango fruit was treated with 5 μl l 1-MCP for 12 h, dipped with 0.5 % chitosan, 5 μl l 1-MCP combine with 0.5 % chitosan and untreated (control) then stored at 10C. Mango treated with 1-MCP maintained firmness, sucrose and starch content. Chitosan coating delayed firmness loss, sucrose content and the fruit decay when compare with control. Application of 1-MCP combine with chitosan also delayed firmness loss, sucrose content and starch content during storage. Furthermore, chitosan coating and combine treatment prolonged storage life of mango up to 29 days after storage while 1-MCP extended to 28 days after storage. Therefore, using all application of chitosan coating or 1-MCP combine with chitosan or 1-MCP in mango at 10C is a feasible technology for maintains quality and prolongs storage life in order to expand marketability and export options. Keywords—1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), chitosan, quality, storage life
