| Abstract | ||
| This work aimed to decrease the chilling injury (Cl) and fruit softness which limiting the quality marketing of mangoes stored at 5 °C. Putrescine (Put) and brassinosteroids (BRs) with packing in (EPE) foam net were examined during seasons 2017 and 2018 for ‘Tommy Atkins’ mango fruits during cold storage. Mango fruits were immersing into putrescine (Put) 50 ppm or (BRs)10 ppm with or without packing in (EPE) foam net. The treated fruits were stored at (5±1°C and 90 – 95% RH) for 30 days. Significantly all applied treatments decreased fruits weight loss, chilling injury and respiration rate, whereas delayed the decrease of titratable acidity and vitamin C. They have a good potential in delaying the increment in total soluble solids and total sugars with maintaining fruit firmness, skin color, total phenol, high rodent of antioxidant capacity and prolonged shelf-life of fruits than the control. It was presumed that aqueous solution of brassinosteroids (BRs) with (EPE) foam net packing being the most effective treatments in decreasing chilling injury, maintaining fruit quality under cold stress and has a good potential on improved shelf life of mango | ||
