Eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day… kills. This is doubtless the message that the average consumer will pick up from distractedly reading the pseudo-sci- entific articles in the mainstream national and international press. The buzz, which has now usurped actual information, is pulling no punches with our friends fruit and vegetables, or with food in general. Pesticides are everywhere. Producers are awful polluters under the thumb of the industrial-phyto-pharmaceutical complex. If this seems to you an outrageous verdict, then you are among the few to have retained the redeeming capability of critical thought, part of a dwindling resource, in a world where nuance and reasoning have practically lost their place. We must decide quickly and in line with the majority, which as you know holds sway. The “reaction referendum” is firmly in control. Never mind if the remedies (alternative treatments or replace- ment products) or the effects (reduced production) could be worse than the original problem. Any collateral damage will be handled by the next lot. Because, as we know, political courage dissolves readily in the vox populi. The half-life of a political decision-maker is now definitely counted in months. Fortunately for fruits and vegetables, calculators are being put to hard work. Oxford University has just established a worldwide, direct and definitive link between climate change and falling consumption of fruit and vegetables and increased mortality. Lower fruit and vegetables consumption due to lower production due to global warming, with the result that half a million more people will die in 2050. Damn, what a dilemma! How do you choose between dying from pesticides for eating too much fruit and vegetables, or dying from not having eaten enough?

Correo-e: [email protected], [email protected] (¶Corresponding author) ABSTRACT Damage from latex (DPL) represents a problem in Mexican mango, causing up to 10 % of annual losses. DPL begins when exuded latex touches the fruit’s skin, producing a superficial darkness that diminishes mango quality and commercial value. Previous studies in mango suggest that terpens favor damage from latex through the activation of polyphenoloxidases (PPO’s).

Abstract: Mediterranean farming is facing increasing periods of water shortage and, in the coming decades, the water reduction is expected to exert the most adverse impact upon growth and productivity. This study was performed to assess the response of the physico-biochemical quality parameters of mango fruits to different doses of irrigation in a Mediterranean subtropical area in Spain. During two-monitoring seasons, trees were subjected to deficit-irrigation strategies receiving 33, 50, and 75% of a crop evapotranspiration (ETC), and a control at 100% ETC. According to the findings and respect to control, the yield was reduced in 8, 11, and 20% for the water-stressed trees at 75, 50, and 33% ETC, respectively, producing smaller fruits in line with the amount of applied irrigation.

In the European market, the demand for tree-ripened fruit has increased in recent decades. Nevertheless, the qualitative response and the marketable characteristics of tree-ripened mango fruit grown in the Mediterranean area are not yet studied. Tree-ripened fruits of cv Keitt, Glenn, Osteen, Maya, Kensington Pride and Tommy Atkins were submitted to analytical (fruit weight, transversal diameter, longitudinal diameter, flesh firmness, total soluble solid content, titratable acidity, seed weight, peel weight, percentage of flesh and fibre, ash content, fat content, carbohydrate content, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn contents, ascorbic acid and vitamin A) and sensory evaluations.

  • Changes in the Sensory Characteristics of Mango Cultivars During the Production of Mango Purée and Sorbet
    DIFFERENCES IN SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS AMONG VARIOUS MANGO CULTIVARS IN THE FORM OF FRESH SLICED MANGO, MANGO PURÉE, AND MANGO SORBET by CHRISTIE N. LEDEKER B.S., University of Delaware, 2008 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Interdisciplinary Food Science Graduate Program Department of Human Nutrition KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2011 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Delores H. Chambers Abstract Fresh mangoes are highly perishable, and therefore, they are often processed to extend shelf-life and facilitate exportation. Studying the transformation that mango cultivars undergo throughout processing can aid in selecting appropriate varieties for products. In the 1st part of this study, the flavor and texture properties of 4 mango cultivars available in the United States (U.S.) were analyzed. Highly trained descriptive panelists in the U.S. evaluated fresh, purée, and sorbet samples prepared from each cultivar. Purées were made by pulverizing mango flesh, passing it through a china cap, and heating it to 85 °C for 15 s. For the sorbets, purées were diluted with water (1:1), sucrose was added, and the bases were frozen in a batch ice cream freezer. Much of the texture variation among cultivars was lost after fresh samples were transformed into purées, whereas much of the flavor and texture variation among cultivars was lost once fresh mangoes and mango purées were transformed into sorbets. Compared to the other cultivars, Haden and Tommy Atkins underwent greater transformations in flavor throughout sorbet preparation, and processing reduced the intensities of some unpleasant flavors in these cultivars.

  • Ataulfo’ Mango Under Pruning and Paclobutrazol Management
    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2014) Vol. 16: 385-393 Vegetative and Reproductive Development of ‘Ataulfo’ Mango under Pruning and Paclobutrazol Management ∗ D. A. García De Niz 1, G. L. Esquivel 2 , R. B. Montoya 2, B. G. Arrieta Ramos 2, G. A. Santiago 2, J. R. Gómez Aguilar 2, and A. R. Sao José 3 ABSTRACT Pruning of the plant canopy and paclobutrazol application to the root zone are agronomic practices that improve harvest yield in mango ( Mangifera indica L.) orchards. To assess the effect of pruning and paclobutrazol treatment on the vegetative and reproductive development of ‘Ataulfo’ mango, three pruning dates (20 April, 20 May, and 20 June) and three concentrations of paclobutrazol (PBZ) (7.5, 11.25, and 15 mL of active ingredient) were used. While control trees presented only one vegetative growth during the productive cycle, trees that were pruned and treated with PBZ had up to three vegetative growth cycles before flowering, regardless of whether pruning occurred in April, May, or June. The number of vegetative shoots and inflorescences (m -2) were equal when trees were pruned and PBZ was applied. When pruning was performed in April or May, the time of harvest occurred 28 days earlier compared to the control. Pruning in April numerically resulted in the greatest production efficiency (7-11 kg m -2). For all the three pruning dates, fruit production of trees treated with PBZ and pruning was from 38 to 98 kg; these values were always less than those obtained for the control trees. The greatest incidence of seedless fruits (57-80%) occurred when pruning was performed in June.
