Abstract
SUMMARY— Kent mango fruit irradiated with 0, 100, 200, and 300 Krad were ripened at 20°C for 0, 4, and 8 days. Irradiated mangoes were less firm than control fruit immediately after irradiation, but fruit softening due to ripeness was more pronounced than softening induced by irradiation. Irradiated fruit contained higher water‐soluble and lower Versene‐vinsoluble pectic fractions as compared to unirradiated fruit. NO differences were observed in the content of the Versene‐soluble fraction among all irradiation dosages. Higher PE activities were exhibited by the irradiated fruit throughout the ripening period. Irradiated fruit contained higher AIS and lower soluble solids than control fruit. No differences in sucrose content due to irradiation were observed, but there were less reducing and total sugars at the 300 Krad dose as compared to other dosages. Changes in pectic fractions and PE activity were more pronounced immediately following irradiation in comparison to those occurring during ripening. The increase in soluble solids as well as sucrose, and the decrease in AIS, titratable acidity, reducing sugars and firmness during ripening proceeded at faster rates in control fruit than in the irradiated fruit. These variable rates of change were reflected by the significant irradiation dose and storage duration interactions. Results suggest that irradiation induces a delay in ripening of Kent mangoes.
