Researchers Identify Optimal Temperature for Extending Mango Freshness

23 Mayıs 2026Science Daily
  • Scientists have discovered that storing mangoes at 54°F significantly extends their freshness compared to standard tropical storage temperatures. This cooler environment not only helps maintain the fruit's firmness and moisture but also preserves essential antioxidants while minimizing cellular damage.
  • Additionally, the research highlights the internal defense mechanisms activated during cold storage that safeguard the mangoes from stress and decay.
  • Mangoes are a staple tropical fruit with a relatively short shelf life, making effective storage methods crucial for maintaining quality and reducing food waste. The findings from this research could have far-reaching effects on agricultural practices and food distribution, especially in regions where mangoes are a…
  • This breakthrough in mango storage could revolutionize the fruit supply chain, potentially reducing waste and enhancing the quality of mangoes available to consumers. By identifying the optimal temperature for storage, researchers provide a practical solution that could benefit farmers and distributors alike.
