e0“This was to evaluate the efficacy of MAP in maintaining the postharvest quality of mango fruits”
e5“Higher levels of total soluble solids (°brix) 5.5g/100g and total soluble sugars (6g/100g) observed at the beginning of storage (6 days after packaging) signalled advanced ripening of unpackaged fruits”

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Modified atmosphere packaging was effective in maintaining the quality of mango fruits compared to unpackaged controls.
- Intervention effect Activebag fruits showed a delayed respiratory climacteric compared to ordinary bag and unpackaged fruits.
- Intervention effect Activebag fruits generally had lower respiration rates than ordinary bag and unpackaged fruits.
- Intervention effect Activebag fruits were 16% firmer than unpackaged fruits at the end of the observation period.
- Intervention effect Modified atmosphere packaging lost only 7.4% cumulative weight, compared to 12% for unpackaged mango fruits.
- Intervention effect Soluble sugars were higher in Activebag mango fruits as storage progressed.
- Intervention effect Activebag fruits retained higher titratable acidity (0.39%) than ordinary bag fruits (0.36%).
- Intervention effect Activebag fruits retained higher ascorbic acid than ordinary bag fruits.
- Intervention effect Ordinary polythene packaging maintained mango fruit quality better than unpackaged fruits.
- Intervention effect Ordinary polythene packaging led to high incidences of rotting in mango fruits.
- Recommendation Packaging mangoes in Activebag after harvest at the ripe stage is recommended for delaying most ripening-related changes.
