Effect of gamma irradiation with or without hot water dip and transportation from Thailand to Canada on nutritional qualities, ripening index and sensorial characteristics of Thai mangoes (Nahng Glahng Wahn variety)

Study of physical–chemical and sensorial properties of irradiated Tommy Atkins mangoes (Mangifera indica L.) in an international consignment

“…Lacroix et al (1993) observed a significantly delay in ripe skin color for irradiated mangoes compared to control (p 6 .05). Mass loss had similar behavior for the three treatments during international transportation and storage (Fig.…”

“…In general, tropical fruits have been shipped for a long period (normally 15 days at controlled temperature) until delivered in local markets. Lacroix et al (1993) compared mangoes submitted to irradiation and combined treatment (irradiation plus hot water dip) in studies carried out simultaneously in Thailand and Canada, with good results related to quality of fruits.…”

Advances in commercial application of gamma radiation in tropical fruits at Brazil

“…This visual observation demonstrated that irradiation slowed maturity of the mangoes. In a similar international consignment, Lacroix et al (1993) observed a significant delay in ripe skin color for irradiated mangoes compared to control (pp0.05). Table 3 summarizes the main results of texture and physicalchemical analysis related to this experiment considering the Canadian storage period.…”

Phenolic compounds and the colour of oranges subjected to a combination treatment of waxing and irradiation

“…1 Notably, this technique has the potential to disinfest and extend the shelf-life of fruit. 2,3 During the storage, favourable conditions for microorganisms development are generated, 4 leading to fruit damages. It is well-known and accepted that the main causes of damage of post-harvest citrus fruits are the presence of stem rot and green (Penicillium digitatum Sacc) and blue (Penicillium italicium Wehmer) moulds.…”
