Abstract

This review provides various methods of postharvest treatment and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of mango fruit preservation. On the one hand, significant amount of postharvest storage research has been done in this area to improve shelf life and quality of fruit, especially, pulsed light, irradiation, hot water, bio-control agents, malicacid dipping and 1-MCP treatment. On the other hand, modified atmosphere technology has extensive application prospect in mango fruit preservation. Some comparison and effects of these techniques have been mentioned and recommended in this paper. The post-harvest treatments in combination with MAP could be used to inhibit browning, decay, and deterioration of mangoes.
