Abstract
Effect of post harvest treatments on biochemical changes of mango (cv. kesar) fruit during storage. S. A. PATIL, Department of Horticulture, Yeshwant Mahavidyalaya, Nanded 431602 ABSTRACT: An experiment was carried out with a view to find out the effect of post harvest treatments on biochemical changes for maintaining quality mango of fruits, under the influence of various 12 treatments. Matured freshly harvested mango fruits of uniform size were treated with different treatments and kept for drying under shade for 30 minutes at ambient temperature (35 ± 2 C) in Corrugated Fibre Board (CFB) boxes. The quality of fruits was improved by various growth regulator treatments. The fruits treated with Ethrel increases TSS, reducing sugar, total sugar at initial stage of storage. While GA3 increased TSS, reducing sugar, total sugar and acidity at later stage of storage. Neem leaf extract 10% recorded maximum ascorbic acid content. The treatment Ethrel 500 ppm is most beneficial for ripening, quality and early marketability, however GA3 250 ppm is better for increasing shelf life, quality and marketability of fruits as post harvest treatments before storage.
