Research Progress on Mango Post-Harvest Ripening Physiology and the Regulatory Technologies

Abstract

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an important tropical fruit with a delicate taste, pleasant aroma, and high nutritional value. In recent years, with the promotion of the rural revitalization strategy and the development of the poverty alleviation industry, China has gradually become an important mango producer. However, the short shelf life of mango fruit, the difficulty in regulating the postharvest quality, and the lack of preservation technology are the main problems that need to be solved in China‘s mango industry. In this paper, the physiological changes and mechanisms of mango during postharvest ripening were summarized, including sugar and acid changes, pigment synthesis and accumulation, and aroma formation and accumulation. The physical, chemical, and biological technologies (such as endogenous phytohormones, temperature, light, chemical preservatives, and edible coatings) commonly used in the regulation of mango postharvest ripening and their action principles were emphatically expounded. The shortcomings of the existing mango postharvest ripening regulation technology and physiological mechanism research were analyzed in order to provide a reference for the industrial application and development of mango postharvest.

Effect of EVA film and chitosan coating on quality and physicochemical characteristics of mango fruit during postharvest storage

“…ACS and ACO are two key rate-limiting enzymes for ethylene synthesis. Ethylene in plants is synthesized via the methionine pathway, in which ACS catalyzes the synthesis of ACC from S-adenosylmethionine, which is finally oxidized by ACO to ethylene ( Liu et al, 2023 ). The EVA and CTS coating treatment inhibited ACO activity ( Fig.…”

Assessing the Role of Gaseous Chlorine Dioxide in Modulating the Postharvest Ripening of Keitt Mangoes through the Induction of Ethylene Biosynthesis

“…On the other hand, on day 2, ClO 2 (g) treated mango pulp showed 18.12% and 26.54% reduction in starch content compared to ethephon and control groups, respectively (Figure 3D). The reduction of starch during fruit ripening leads to an increase in soluble sugar content [39]. In terms of TA, ClO 2 (g) treatment conserved a significantly lower concentration of TA throughout the storage (Figure 3E).…”

Water-Retaining Agent as a Sustainable Agricultural Technique to Enhance Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Productivity in Tropical Soils

“…Mango output is estimated to be over 40 million tonnes worldwide, with India producing the most, followed by China, Thailand, and Mexico [1]. Mango agriculture covers 349,000 hectares in China, and the country produces 3.306 million tons of mangoes, which are valued at about USD 2.87 billion [2]. China's mango production areas are primarily in the provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, and Hainan [2,3].…”
