of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh during
the period from May, 2010 to September, 2011 to study the behavioral pattern
of some physicochemical constituents of the mango pulp. The experiment was comprised
of two popular mango cultivars in Bangladesh (viz., Langra and Khirshapat) and
six storage stimuli, namely control, paraffin coating, perforated polyethylene
cover, unperforated polyethylene cover, hot water (55±1°C) and low
temperature (4±1°C). The two factors experiment was assigned in randomized
complete block design with tree replicates. The varieties had profound variation
in terms of most of the characters studied in the laboratory condition. Initially
the Langra significantly enriched a greater amount of vitamin C (151.23 mg/100
g) and titratable acidity (4.31%) and these were decreased gradually with the
progress of storage period. The Khirshapat showed higher pulp pH (5.83); produced
enormous amount of TSS (18.00%) and sugar (TS = 17.62%, RS = 6.51% and NRS =
11.06%) content at 12th day of storage. The pH, TSS, sugar (TS, RS and NRS)
content of mango pulp was rapidly increased, whereas vitamin C and titratable
acidity decreased drastically from the untreated mangoes. On the other hand,
low temperature retarded the changes. The Langra using low temperature (4±1°C)
exhibited lower diminishing tendency in vitamin C and titratable acidity and
also using no treatment slightly increased TSS; enriched enormous amount of
sugar (TS, RS and NRS). Therefore, low temperature (4±1°C) was found
satisfactory for delay ripening and postharvest changes of mango in storage
condition.]]>Absar, N., M.R. Karim and M.A.L. Amin,199318201208Benitez, M.M., A.L. Acedo Jr., P. Jitareerat and S. Kanlavanarat,2006712811816Castrillo, M., N.J. Kruger and F.R.
