Biochemical properties of tree ripened and post harvest ripened Mangifera indica (cv. East Indian)

Figures & data

Figure 1. Tree ripened mangoes.

Figure 2. Mature green mangoes.

Figure 3. Post harvest ripened mangoes.

Table 1. Mango weight and dimensions.

Mango	Length (cm)	Width of shoulder (cm)	Weight (g)
Tree ripened	12.01 ± 0.70	7.46 ± 0.34	307.13 ± 40.28
Mature green	11.95 ± 0.93	7.61 ± 0.27	333.27 ± 45.14

Table 2. Comparison of biochemical characteristics of tree-ripened and postharvest-ripened mangoes.

Ripening method	Total soluble solids (%)	Reducing sugar (%)	pH	Titratable acidity (%)
Tree ripened	21.93 ± 2.05^a	4.50 ± 0.68^a	5.47 ± 0.27^a	0.15 ± 0.04^a
Postharvest ripened	21.35 ± 1.86^a	7.94 ± 0.8^b	5.25 ± 0.12^b	0.19 ± 0.03^b

Mean values with different superscript are significantly different at P = 0.05.

Table 3. Comparison of the phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activities of tree-ripened and postharvest-ripened mangoes.

Ripening method	Total phenolic content (mgGAE/100 g)	DPPH radical scavenging activity (100 mg/ml)
Tree ripened	42.43 ± 5.73^a	49.34 ± 5.94^a
Postharvest ripened	32.81 ± 5.64^b	38.84 ± 6.50^b

DPPH: 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl.

Mean values with different superscript are significantly different at P = 0.05.
