Union of MyanmarMinistry of Agriculture and IrrigationMyanma Agriculture Service Studying On Post Harvest Quality of Five Different Mango Varieties Presented by Tin Moe Hlaing
Objectives • to investigate proper treatment in controlling diseases including longer shelf life • to transfer technologies to the growers according to our results
Materials and Methods • conduct from fourth week of May to first week of June • five different mango varieties were selected • Yin Kawe, MyaKyauk, ShweHinThar, Sein Ta Lone and Nam Doc Mai. • mangoes were washed to reduce contamination & to remove any sap residue • stems were cut off ¼ in (6 mm)
conduct at the vegetable and fruit research • and development center (VFRDC) • 14.9 meter high above sea level • annual rainfall is 2070 mm • maximum temperature – 31.30˚ C • minimum temperature – 16.10˚ C
Treatments T1: Control T2: Benomyl (0.1 %) T3: Benomyl (0.1 %) + HWT at 60˚C for 30 seconds T4 : HWT at 60˚C for 30 seconds T5 : Thin plastic package with holes T6: Thick plastic package with holes
Product Quality Evaluation • Color (Outer and Inner) • Weight loss % • Firmness • Damage • Sweetness ( ˚ Brix ) • Sourness ( Acidity %)
Result and Discussion • Yin Kawe variety - the longest shelf life ( eleven days ) • other four varieties - seven to eight days
YIN KAWE • Benomyl (0.1%) - lowest weight loss • Benomyl (0.1%) - most sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Thin package - lowest sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Thick package - highest acidity (%) • Hot water treatment – lowest acidity (% )
MYA KYAUK • Benomyl (0.1%) and thick package - longest shelf life • Thin package - lowest weight loss • Benomyl (0.1%) - most sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Thin package - lowest sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Thick package - highest acidity (%) • Benomyl (0.1%) + HWT - lowest acidity (% )
SHWE HIN THAR • Benomyl (0.1%) and thick package - longest shelf life • Benomyl (0.1%) - lowest weight loss • Thick package - lowest sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Thick package - highest acidity (%) • Benomyl (0.1%) + HWT - lowest acidity (% )
SEIN TA LONE • Benomyl (0.1%) + HWT - longest shelf life • Thin package - lowest weight loss • Hot Water Treatment - most sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Thin package - lowest sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Benomyl (0.1%) + HWT - highest acidity (%) • Hot Water Treatment - lowest acidity (% )
NAM DOC MAI • Thick package - longest shelf life • Thin package - lowest weight loss • Benomyl (0.1%) + HWT - most sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Thick package - lowest sweetness ( ˚Brix ) • Thick package - highest acidity (%) • Hot Water Treatment - lowest acidity (% )
Conclusion Longest shelf life - • Yin Kawe - Benomyl (0.1 %) & Thick Package • MyaKyauk - Benomyl (0.1 %) & Thick Package • ShweHinThar - Benomyl (0.1 %) & Thick Package • Sein Ta Lone - Benomyl (0.1 %) + HWT • Nam Doc Mai - Thick Package
Constraints • Poor infrastructure • Insufficient skillful manpower resources • Insufficiency of cold storage system • High cost of chemicals
Recommendations • Factor affecting the shelf life of stored fruits is the time of harvesting • Which DAF is the best harvesting time for Mango • Make the growers more efficient and less costly • Possible simple and inexpensive cooling procedures
