The mangaba is a highly perishable fruit which, under ambient conditions, lasts around 9 days when harvested green and ripe. Therefore, as it is still harvested through extractivism, adopting low-cost technologies is essential for mangaba collectors. The aim was to evaluate the use of hydrocooling at 8ºC on mangaba fruits at ambient and refrigerated temperatures for 12 days. Mass loss, soluble solids, titratable acidity, ratio (SS/AT), pH, firmness, vitamin C, L*, chroma and ºhue were evaluated. The results show that hydrocooling was not effective in increasing the shelf life of mangaba. Mangabas can be stored at 5ºC and 10ºC for 12 days. On the other hand, it loses its quality after 8 days at 25ºC.
