Alphonso was conducted in the of Post Harvest Management of Fruit Vegetable and Flower Crops, PGI of PHTM Killa-Roha during the year 2021-22 The experiment was conducted in Factorial Completely Randomized Design (FCRD) for different parameters with five main treatments viz., 20, 40, 60 and 80 per cent Aloe vera juice coating and untreated fruits (control) with storage period on sub treatment and were analyzed for changes in PLW, ripening behaviour, physico-chemical parameters and sensory qualities. It was observed that 80% Aloe vera coated fruits exhibited slower rate of ripening, reduced PLW and spoilage of mango. The chemical parameters such as TSS, reducing and total sugars content exhibited an increasing trend while decreasing trend was observed in firmness and titratable acidity of the mango irrespective of treatments during storage. As regard the organoleptic evaluation, the Alphonso mango fruits treated with 80% Aloe vera obtained highest sensory score at 16th day of storage.EnglishThesis
