- Abstract
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a climacteric fruit category horticultural commodity, namely fruit that is able to continue the ripening process after being harvested, has a respiration rate, and high ethylene production so that mango is a fruit that is easily damaged and the marketing distance is limited. So it is necessary to do further postharvest handling to inhibit the rate of respiration. This article aims to give the better understanding og mango post harvest handling in Indonesia. The method used in the postharvest handling process of mango fruit is the coating method with chitosan by dipping mangoes into a sucrose solution. The mango slices were dipped in a sucrose solution of up to 40% with the addition of preservatives (potassium metabisulfite, potassium sorbate, and sodium benzoate). Subsequently, the mango then was put into a glass bottle with a cold treatment of 13 ℃ and a room temperature of 25–28 ℃. Applying a coating using chitosan on mangoes suppresses the respiration rate, inhibits the release of gas and water vapor, and avoids contact with oxygen.
