  • DURING FROZEN STORAGE by ANGELA RINCON
    EFFECT OF PREFREEZING TREATMENTS ON QUALITY OF MANGO (Manguifera Indica L.) DURING FROZEN STORAGE by ANGELA RINCON (Under the direction of William L. Kerr) ABSTRACT At the moment there is a high demand for high-quality fruit ingredients to be used in many food formulations such as pastry and confectionery products, ice cream, frozen desserts and sweets, fruit salads, cheese and yoghurt. The overall objective was to improve quality of frozen mango using two types of food cryoprotection: one was the reduction of water content of the fruit (osmotic dehydration) and the other was the formulation of mango pulp with carbohydrates of different molecular weight to increase frozen stability. Osmotic dehydration was able to modify quality parameters of slices before and after frozen storage. Values for some parameters such as vitamin C, lightness (L*), chroma (C*), and firmness for non osmotically dehydrated slices were significantly higher than osmotically dehydrated slices. However, treatments carried out with osmotic solutions (especially those with high concentrations of sucrose) improved significantly the quality of mango slices after frozen storage. Higher moisture losses and solid gain values were reported for slices from the highest osmotic solution concentration. Thus, slices dipped in 30oBrix were better protected against freezing damage. Effects of sucrose concentration on the slices and ripening stage on frozen-thawed mango flavor perception were determined. Six flavor descriptors (color, flavor, sweetness, sourness, firmness and juiciness) were evaluated by a sensory trained panel. All descriptors were affected by sugar content and ripening stage. To study the effect of mango fruit composition on frozen stability, five pulp samples were prepared and evaluated in terms of glass transition temperature modification and its influence on ascorbic acid retention.

Mango conservation in multivarietal orchards 227 Introduction Mango, the king of fruits, is one of the most important fruit crops grown in India, accounting for 38 per cent of area planted and a 22 per cent share of total fruit production. Mango has been cultivated in India for at least 4,000 years and more than 1,000 varieties are recognized (Mukherjee, 1953). The large variability that is exhibited by mango is due to seed propagation and the high heterozygosity present (Iyer and Schnell, 2009).

Dr. Panjabrao Abstract Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, The experiment entitled, “Study of Biochemical Variability in Local Mango Genotypes for Pickle Akola, Maharashtra, India Purpose” was carried out during 2015-2016 on the basis of biochemical and sensory evaluation parameter of fruits. A survey, collection and screening of mango genotypes in Akola, Amravati and Washim Choudhari RJ districts known of mining of pickle was undertaken for pickle preparation, in order to identify suitable M.Sc.

Dr. Panjabrao physic-chemical parameters of fruit viz., TSS 0Brix (2.8 to 11.6 0Brix), acidity percentage (1.85-6.90%), Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, total sugar percentage (1.08 to 3.06 %), T.S.S. Acidity ratio (0.42 to 2.95), Sugar: acidity ratio (0.42 to Akola, Maharashtra, India 4.10), Vit-C (19.14 to 29.09 mg/100-1) and fiber percentage (0.69 to 1.75%). considering unripe fruit should be too acidic for pickle as G-42 recorded (6.71) higher acidity, however it appears inferior for Tayade SA most of rest characters.

  • National Fruit Catalogue of Tropical Fruit Tree Diversity (Mangifera, Citrus and Garcinia)
    National Fruit Catalogue of Tropical Fruit Tree Diversity (Mangifera, Citrus and Garcinia) M.R.Dinesh, Shailendra Rajan , I.P.Singh , Awtar Singh, Sanjay Kumar Singh, Vasudeva.R, Vinoth.S, Prakash Patil ,V.A.Parthasarathy, B.M.C Reddy and Bhuwon Sthapit. PREFACE Biological diversity envisages the multiplicity of life forms existing on earth. The components of biodiversity which maintain the current or potential human uses are referred as ‘biological resources’. The Indian sub- continent is extremely rich in its plant wealth. It embraces a wide spectrum of habitats from tropical rain forests to alpine vegetation and from temperate forests to coastal wetlands. This wide range of habitat spectrum and diversity has bestowed upon her the unique distinction of being one among the twelve mega- diversity centers in the world. Indian sub-continent is also one of the eight centers of origin of cultivated plants and areas of diversity of their wild relatives as classified by Vavilov. India figures with two hotspots-the Western Ghats and Eastern Himalayas – among 18 biodiversity hotspots identified and later on this was revised and updated to 25 and the hotspots that are extended to India are the Western Ghats/Sri Lanka and Indo – Burma region. The plant wealth of India is represented by about 49,000 species which comprises about 12% of the global wealth of plants. Nearly 33% of these are endemic, mainly located in 26 centres. Among the fruit crops, India has a great place as a leading country for possessing the world’s largest varietal diversity for mango. Many of these unique varieties have been conserved over centuries for their varied uses.
