ABSTRACT

Mango is the third most important fruit in the tropics due to its nutritional properties and delicious flavor. The fruit is exceptionally perishable due to its climacteric nature, which decreases the quality and shelf-life. Preserving fruit quality and preventing losses during postharvest is one of the critical solutions in sustaining human dietary demands. Postharvest treatments such as 1-Methylcyclopropene, edible coatings, and hot water treatment have shown to be effective in preserving fruit quality. However, developing environmental-friendly postharvest technologies that ensure the safety of consumers remains a challenge. Gaseous ozone, controlled atmosphere (CA), and pulsed electric field (PEF) are some of the emerging technologies with great potential for the mango fruit industry. The use of such technologies has been demonstrated to be effective in maintaining the sensory, nutritional, and physicochemical quality of the mango fruit. However, the mode of action of the emerging technologies is not yet understood. This review provides of an overview of various postharvest techniques used to preserve mango fruit quality. The potential of the emerging postharvest technologies to maintain mango fruit quality during storage and shelf-life is also discussed.

摘要

芒果由于其营养特性和美味可口，是热带地区第三重要的水果。由于其更年期性质，这种水果极易腐烂，从而降低了品质和保质期。保持果实品质并防止收获后损失是维持人类饮食需求的关键解决方案之一。收获后的处理方法（例如1-甲基环丙烯），可食用的涂层和热水处理方法已显示出有效的水果保鲜效果。但是，开发确保消费者安全的环保型采后技术仍然是一个挑战。气态臭氧，可控气氛（CA）和脉冲电场（PEF）是芒果水果行业中具有巨大潜力的一些新兴技术。事实证明，使用这种技术可以有效地保持芒果果实的感官，营养和物理化学质量。但是，尚不了解新兴技术的作用方式。这篇综述概述了用于保持芒果果实品质的各种收获后技术。还讨论了新兴的采后技术在储存和保质期内保持芒果果实品质的潜力。
