Research and development on ripening mangoes

Abstract

This research is conducted in order to increase % yield of mango cannig. It is found that using 1,800 ppm ethtlene solution can increase % yield up to 87.5% more than using calcium carbide which could reach 57.25% yield. Next, mango canning process is analyzed. In sterilization process, two temperature levels.are controlled:103 C for 15 minutes F=1 minute, 107 C for 9 minutes F=1 minute physical property of the product is analyzed and found that both temperature levels give the identical results; statistical significance (p 0.05). Canned mango sterilized at 107 C for 9 minutes is selected. Chemical analysis indicates that total soluble solids content is 27.5 Brix, pH = 4.6, dietary fiber = 0.43 grams for mango 100 grams
