Nuzba Anjum, Tariq Masud and Asia Latif

Abstract: Mango fruits (cv. Chausa) were treated with different concentrations of CMC, calcium chloride and beeswax. The mangoes were then placed in boxes, each with a sponge soaked in KMnO4.The mangoes were then stored at refrigerated temperature (8-10°C). The physico-chemical analysis were repeated after seven days interval. Fruits  treated with 2% CMC, showed best behaviour through out storage period with minimum loss of weight, increased ascorbic acid content and was able to conserve better sensory characteristics through entire period of storage.
