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. Tommy Atkins was the only cultivar that had flavor differences from other cultivars when it was in sorbet. Results suggest that cultivar variation is generally not detectable in mango sorbet unless the cultivar has a distinct initial flavor. In the 2nd part of this study, descriptive panelists in Thailand evaluated the flavor and texture properties of fresh samples and purées prepared from 6 cultivars grown in Thailand. Thermal processing had unique effects on the flavor of each cultivar, especially Nam Dok Mai and Chok Anun; Nam Dok Mai significantly decreased in mango identity and peach flavors after processing, whereas Chok Anun significantly increased in sweet, mango identity, and pineapple flavors. Although a slight amount of flavor variation among cultivars was lost because of thermal processing, most of the texture variation was eliminated. Because of significant changes in flavor and texture after heat treatment of mango cultivars, manufacturers should select cultivars for mango purées based on their properties after thermal processing.

  • Responses of 'Carabao' Mango to Various Ripening Agents
    Philippine Journal of Science 148 (3): 513-523, September 2019 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 08 Apr 2019 Responses of ‘Carabao’ Mango to Various Ripening Agents Angelyn T. Lacap1, Emma Ruth V. Bayogan1*, Leizel B. Secretaria1, Christine Diana S. Lubaton1, and Daryl C. Joyce2,3 1College of Science and Mathematics, University of the Philippines Mindanao, Mintal, Tugbok District, Davao City 8022 Philippines 2School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, The University of Queensland, Gatton, QLD 4343 Australia 3Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Ecosciences Precinct, Dutton Park, QLD 4102 Australia Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with moisture in the air to produce acetylene (C2H2) gas, an analog of ethylene (C2H4). Commercial sources of CaC2 may be contaminated with arsenic and phosphorous, which are also released during a chemical reaction. This constitutes a potentially serious health risk to ripeners and may contaminate the product. Although banned in many countries, CaC2 is still used in the Philippines because equally inexpensive and effective alternatives are lacking. This study investigated the relative efficacy of alternatives for ripening ‘Carabao’ mango. Fruit harvested at –1 107 d after flower induction were treated with CaC2 (2.5, 5.0, or 7.5 g kg ); ethephon (500, 1000, or 1500 μL L–1); Gliricidia sepium leaves (20% w/w); or ‘Cardava’ banana fruit (10% w/w) for 72 h. Mangoes were then held under ambient room conditions [29.9 ± 3.1°C, 77.74 ± 2.9% relative humidity (RH)] for 7 d. Assessments of peel color, firmness, and total soluble solids showed that fruit treated with higher concentrations of ethephon (1000 or 1500 μL L–1) exhibited similar ripening –1 responses as those treated with CaC2.

Accordingly plant density studies in mango was laid out in the year 1992 with spacing of 5 X 5 m, 5 X 10 m and 10 X 10 m, , in randomized block design at Ganeshkhind, Pune. The growth, yield and quality parameters were recorded for three years and pooled data (2010 -2012) was analyzed statistically. The results were signiicant and the yield and monetary returns were 125 per cent more over conventional spacing. The recommendation of planting of mango cv Kesar at spacing of 5 X 5 m with light pruning (15 – 20 cm terminal shoot) after harvest of fruits every year is recommended for higher fruit yield and monetary returns in mango growing area of Maharashtra.

Student, Department of Agricultural Economics, Faculty of Agricultural Social Sciences,Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam Pakistan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study has been designed to investigate cost of production, and returns per acre of mango fruit. A sample of 60 mango farmers was taken purposively from various villages in taluka Tando Adam district Sanghar Sindh Pakistan. The objective was to work out benefit cost ratio and net present worth of growing mango orchard. The mango growers in study area on average per farm spent a sum of Rs. 38000.00. This included Rs. 6000.00 for loading, Rs. 16000.00 for transportation and Rs. 6000.00 of unloading respectively in the study area. The mango grower in the study area on average per acre spent a total cost of production of Rs. 203762.00 this included Rs.80000.00, Rs.28847.00, Rs.56915.00 and Rs.38000.00 on fixed cost, labour costs, Capital Inputs and marketing costs respectively in the study area.

In this study, the effect of Dasheri mango slices temperature and potassium metabisulphite (KMS) pre-treatment on Dasheri Hot air dryer mango slices dehydrated using hot air oven was studied. Three temperatures Pre-treatment (50ºC, 60ºC and 70ºC) and KMS pre-treatment levels (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%), Potassium metabisulphite as well as control samples, were used for the study. From the dehydrating Rehydration ratio curve, it was observed that the drying of the mango slices occurred on the falling rate stage. Around 5.5%-31.7% of the final moisture was achieved on dry weight basis in the mango slices and the drying time ranges from How to Cite 390-690 min at all the drying temperatures and pre-treatment levels. The Nasiru MM, Raj JD, Yadav rehydration ratio of the mango slices ranged from 2.52 to 3.54 while KC.
