Black flesh disorder in mango: a chilling injury symptom increased by early harvest and low storage temperature and reduced by 1‐methylcyclopropene
BACKGROUND: ) was then validated on mangoes for reduction of BF incidence and severity. RESULTS: markedly reduced the incidence and severity of BF, while suppressing respiration and ethylene production. This concentration also maintained flesh firmness and antioxidant capacity, performing in a similar way to higher concentrations. CONCLUSION: Early harvest and low storage temperature increased the incidence of BF whereas 1-MCP treatment reduced it. © 2026 The Author(s).
