“…Types of packaging materials contributed to the variation in the weight loss and physiochemical properties of mango fruits during ripening. Roy and Pal (1989) indicated that the use of corrugated fiber box with partition showed the attenuation of weight loss (2.38%), ripening (15.33%), and bruising (1.33%) percentage compared to the wooden box with straw and paper with respect to 2.54, 21.33, and 5%. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) packaging showed better efficiency than plastic boxes in the alleviation of weight loss, remaining firmness (Srinivasa et al, 2004).…”

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a widely consumed fruit in tropical/subtropical regions around the world due to its excellent flavor and taste, and valuable source of nutrients and phytochemical compounds. As a climacteric fruit, mango is easily perishable after harvesting due to the ripening process, environmental conditions, and improper postharvest handling, leading to significant quality losses as well as economic loss throughout a supply chain. Postharvest losses are attributed to harvesting at an improper maturity stage, poor postharvest pretreatment, improper packing and packaging, inappropriate storage temperature and distribution conditions. These caused mechanical damage, sap burn, spongy tissue, weight loss, fruit softening, decay, chilling injury, and postharvest diseases. Currently, each step in the supply chain has been applied many postharvest technologies to reduce the quality losses of mango fruits as well as improving their marketability with the highest retention of quality. This review documented available possible causes for the quality losses and observed the physicochemical changes of mango fruit when applying postharvest technologies at each critical step in the mango supply chain from harvesting, pre-treatment, packaging, storage, to distribution. The summarized information is expected to provide comprehensive quality changes of mango fruits and point out the proper technology at each step of the supply chain.

An attempt has been made in the present study to estimate the physical post-harvest losses in banana and to identify the causes of losses in Durg district of Chhattisgarh. The explicit evaluation of the impact of post-harvest losses at different stages of marketing on farmers' net price, marketing costs, margins and efficiency have been presented. The results indicated that there are two major marketing channels viz., wholesaler channel and commission agent channel. The post-harvest losses were as high as 18 kg per quintal in the wholesale channel; comprising 31.67 per cent at the field and assembly level, 33.06 per cent at the wholesale market level and 35.28 per cent at the retail level. The total physical losses in the second marketing channel which was through commission agent were 18.95 kg per quintal with 28.50, 33.25 and 38.26 per cent in the corresponding stages. Small fruits, sun burn, harvesting injury and cracks and cankers at farm level; physiological dryness, physical damage and pressed and crushed fruits, over ripening loss at wholesale market level; physically damaged fruit and over ripened fruit at retailers level were the major causes responsible for post-harvest losses in banana. Further it was found that by separating out marketing loss at each stage of marketing, the producers' net share and wholesaler and retailer margins have been reduced substantially. It can be inferred that marketing efficiency is inversely proportional to the volume of post-harvest losses.

Shelf-life of fruit was significantly enhanced with minimum ripening percentage, higher number of healthy fruit percentage in Kesar mango having sp. gr. < 1.00 (M 3 ) fallowed by sp. gr. 1.00-1.02 (M 2 ). Wax coating 6 per cent (R 3 ) was effective to increasing the shelf-life of fruit, ripening days, healthy fruit per cent and minimum ripening per cent. Soft-rot diseases incidence was does not found in hot water (R 1 ) and bavistin (R 2 ) treatments. A comparative study on the effect of low temperature storage of fresh harvested mango stored at 15 0 C (T 1 ) and 20 0 C (T 2 ) was made with respect to physiological changes. Not only delay the ripening percentage with ripening day, but also increase the healthy fruit per cent in lower temperature at 15 0 C of storage temperature with 85 per cent RH up to 42 nd days of shelf-life.HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE : Mane, Shailendra R., Jadhav, Y.T. and Barkade, D.P.
