An investigation was conducted for obtaining information on the
reduction of postharvest losses, pattern of physical, biochemical
and mineral content changes, storability as well as shelf life of
postharvest mango. The trials included four different experiments
involving two factors where variety was a factor comprising of
Langra and Khirshapat. These varieties were treated with different
postharvest treatments viz., control, paraffin coating, perforated
polyethylene cover, unperforated polyethylene cover, hot water (55
1)0C, low temperature in refrigerator (4 1)0C; different doses of
Maleic hydrazide, GA3 and Bavistin DF solution. These experiments
were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three
replicates. Different postharvest treatments subjected to the
investigation demonstrated significant variation in most of the
physicochemical properties and shelf life of mango. Low temperature
in refrigerator was the best inhibitor of ethylene synthesis that
delayed ripening and prolonged shelf life. The second suitable
method was found to be 400 ppm of GA3 which is cost effective and
might easily be adopted by common farmers for mango preservation.
