M
ango (
Mangiferaindica
L) is one of the important exportable fruits in Myanmar. It is a climacteric fruit and the
highest postharvest losses due to the most perishable fruit. The objectives of this study are to investigate respiration
and ethylene production rates of Sein Ta Lone mango and to assess the postharvest quality and storage life as affected by
different storage conditions. The wrapping materials were foam net sac, paper and untreated fruits used as control. The
fruits were stored at room temperature and the optimum cold storage temperature of mango fruit at 13˚C. Treatments
were laid out by factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The collected
data on weight loss (%)), color index, respiration rate, ethylene production and shelf life (days) were analyzed. The fruits
stored at 13˚C significantly showed the longer shelf life than those stored at room temperature. There were no significant
differences in color development and shelf life of fruits among the wrapping treatments at room temperature. Thus, Sein
Ta Lone mango can be stored the shelf life of 7 days at ambient condition (36˚C, 50% RH) and 14 days at 13˚C.The
ethylene production and respiration rates of Sein Ta Lone mango under 13˚C were considerably lower than that of room
temperature storage. The ethylene production and respiration rates were not significantly different among the wrapping
treatments at respective temperatures. The minimum rate of respiration and ethylene production of untreated fruits were
10.37 mg kg
-1
hr and 0.05 nl kg
-1
hr, respectively.
