Respiration rates and ethylene production of ripening harumanis mangoes after different chilling storage periods

P.F. Lam

Abstract

Harumanis mangoes stored at 7 °C for five weeks and transferred to 20 °C showed the respiratory climacteric and ethylene peaks but not the fruit which were stored for six weeks. All fruit suffered chilling injury after one-week storage. Fruit which were kept for two weeks at 12 °C showed the normal respiratory climacteric and ethylene  peaks when transferred to 20 °Celsius.
