Abstract

The parameters for optimum maturity of fruit of Pairi variety mango, harvested near Mysore from 1964 to 1969, have been found to be 260 plus/minus 20 g in wt., olive green surface colour, and outgrown shoulders. In addition, pH and colour of the pulp in terms of chromaticity coordinate X were useful indices. Other parameters were not consistent. Respiration climacteric max. was delayed in immature fruits and advanced in over-mature fruits. Fruits of optimal maturity recorded the climacteric max. on the 9th day plus/minus 1 at ambient storage of 26 plus/minus 2 degree C and 45-65% RH. Sugar accumulation was max. at about the time of the climacteric peak in respiration and sucrose was predominant. The chemical composition of the fruit was more or less similar over several seasons and harvests.
