FIGURE 1.

‘Keitt’ mango fruit chilling injury (CI) symptoms and their quantification. (A) Representative pictures of mango fruit showing CI symptoms after 19 days of cold storage at 5, 8, or 12°C. Fruit stored at 5°C show pitting and decay, at 8°C black spots and red spots, and at 12°C healthy tissue and lenticels. (B) Quantification of CI in mango fruit at various cold-storage temperatures (18, 12, 8, or 5°C) for 19 days (black column) and further shelf-life storage at 20°C for 7 days (white column). Red spots, black spots and pitting were evaluated on a scale of 1–10, and total decay in percentage. Data shown are mean ± SE of six biological replicates. Letters represent significant difference by one-way ANOVA.
