Book Description
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a tropical fruit, which is becoming more popular in the global fruit market due to its unique flavor. Fresh-cut mango has the potential to become one of the fastest growing segments of the mango market. In this dissertation, fruit characterization and pre- and post-cutting treatments, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and calcium, respecively, were investigated to improve the eating quality and shelf life of fresh-cut mangos. The spatial variation of physico–chemical properties within mangos was investigated. The results showed that the direction of ripening tended to initiate from the inside outward and from the stem end to the blossom end. Mature green mangos of 2 cultivars ('Kent' and 'Tommy Atkins') and three ripeness levels based on fruit firmness (45 N, 35 N, 25 N) were processed into fresh-cut mango cubes and stored at 5 °C for 9 days. The ripeness stage best suited for fresh-cut processing was 35 N for 'Kent' and 25 N for 'Tommy Atkins' based on ease of handling, quality maintenance, and sensory evaluation. The effect of calcium dips on quality maintenance of 'Kent' and 'Tommy Atkins' mangos, as determined instrumentally and by consumer acceptance was also evaluated. The best treatments were 0.136 M CaCl2 for 2.5 min for 'Tommy Atkins' and 0.136 M CaCl2 for 1 min dip for 'Kent' mangos. Consumers preferred fresh-cut 'Kent' mangos more than 'Tommy Atkins' mangos, possibly due to their higher SSC, TA, SSC/TA and lower development of browning. The potential for using 1-MCP as a pretreatment prior to or following hot water quarantine treatment, mandated by USDA-APHIS, was also investigated as a mechanism to slow the softening of fresh-cut mango cubes. 1-MCP treatment alone showed the greatest delay in whole mango fruit softening, for both mature green and ripe mangos. A higher 1-MCP concentration of 1.0 [mu]l l−1 for 24 h at 20 °C was required for riper fruits, whereas a concentration of 0.5 [mu]l l−1 was sufficient to delay ripening in mature green mangos. Lower efficacy of 1-MCP in delaying fruit ripening was observed in hot water treated mango fruits. However, 1-MCP treatments prior to hot water treatments resulted in a better delay in fruit softening and peel color alterations, as compared to hot water treatments alone. The application of 1-MCP as a pretreatment prior to hot water treatment could be beneficial for mangos destined for fresh cut applications, by slowing subsequent ripening of the fresh-cut mango cubes. Further research is needed to confirm that the reduced rate of softening would continue after cutting the whole, 1-MCP-treated mangos.

Book Description
While products such as bananas, pineapples, kiwifruit and citrus have long been available to consumers in temperate zones, new fruits such as lychee, longan, carambola, and mangosteen are now also entering the market. Confirmation of the health benefits of tropical and subtropical fruit may also promote consumption further. Tropical and subtropical fruits are particularly vulnerable to postharvest losses, and are also transported long distances for sale. Therefore maximising their quality postharvest is essential and there have been many recent advances in this area. Many tropical fruits are processed further into purees, juices and other value-added products, so quality optimization of processed products is also important. The books cover current state-of-the-art and emerging post-harvest and processing technologies. Volume 1 contains chapters on particular production stages and issues, whereas Volumes 2, 3 and 4 contain chapters focused on particular fruit.Chapters in Volume 3 of this important collection review factors affecting the quality of different tropical and subtropical fruits, concentrating on postharvest biology and technology. Important issues relevant to each specific product are discussed, such as postharvest physiology, preharvest factors affecting postharvest quality, quality maintenance postharvest, pests and diseases and value-added processed products, among other topics. - Along with the other volumes in the collection, Volume 3 is an essential reference for professionals involved in the postharvest handling and processing of tropical and subtropical fruits and for academics and researchers working in the area - Covers current state-of-the-art and emerging post-harvest and processing technologies - Important issues relevant to each particular fruit are discussed, such as postharvest physiology, preharvest factors affecting postharvest quality and pests and diseases

Book Description
Although mango (Mangifera indica L.) has been studied for many years, numerous problems still elude researchers. The objectives of the current trials were to study the effects of some cultural practices (fruit thinning, panicle/ bud/ renewal/ post-harvest pruning) and chemicals (Corasil. E, potassium nitrate/urea, paclobutrazol) on various vegetative, floral, yield and quality parameters. The study meant to address problems of both South African and Ethiopian mango growers. The thinning (on Sensation) and pruning (on Tommy Atkins' and 'Keitt') experiments were conducted for two seasons (2001-2003) at Bavaria Fruit Estate in South Africa. Effects of Paclobutrazol and Potassium nitrate were studied on Tommy Atkins' during 2002-2003 season at Upper Awash Agro-industry Enterprise in Ethiopia. Complementary effects of paclobutrazol and potassium nitrate on floral induction were studied in growth chamber experiments at the experimental farm of University of Pretoria on Tommy Atkins' and 'Keitt' mango. Where fruit on Sensation were thinned to one and two fruit per panicle, a significant increase was obtained for most of the fruit quantitative parameters. The treatments where one fruit and two fruit per panicle were retained and 50% panicles removed, produced a significant increase in size of the fruit, fruit qualitative parameters and fruit retention percentage. Corasil. E produced very small sized fruit with a considerable percentage of mules' (fruit without seed). Trees subjected to severe thinning intensities showed earlier revival of starch reserves and better vegetative growth. Applications of paclobutrazol (1- (4-chlorophenyl) 4,4-dimethyl-2- (1,2,4- triazol-1-yl) pentan-3-ol) at rates of 5.50 and 8.25 g a.i. per tree, both as a soil drench and spray applications, on Tommy Atkins' mango were effective in suppressing vegetative growth as compared to the control. Consequently, the trees from these treatments had higher total non-structural carbohydrate in their shoots before flowering which led to higher results of percentages of shoots flowering, number of panicles produced, percentages of hermaphrodite flowers, yield and quality of the fruit. Trees that received panicle pruning (during full bloom) treatment at the point of apical bud attachment, were observed to be induced for synchronized re-flowering and also attained more fruit per panicle. On the other hand, trees on which renewal pruning (early in the season) and post-harvest pruning (especially for early cultivars) treatments were applied, have been observed for the development of an adequate number of productive inflorescences. Post-harvest pruning treatments also resulted in greater vegetative growth on both cultivars. The responses to pruning treatments were greater especially in Tommy Atkins' than 'Keitt'. The trend for the interaction of duration and chemicals in Tommy Atkins and Keitt mango cultivars revealed the possible floral induction complementary effect of PBZ after the trees were induced only for 15 days at 10/15 oC temperature. Higher potassium nitrate concentrations especially in combination with urea (5 litre solution of 4% KNO3+0.5 g urea tree-1 and 5 litres of 4% KNO3+1 g urea tree-1) produced higher results for most of the flowering and yield parameters in Tommy Atkins'.
