Abstract

known, mango fruit being a climacteric and ripens quickly at the post-harvest stage. So, the storage period of mango fruit is too short, and this make troubles during local marketing and export abroad. This research aimed to overcome these problems by demonstrating the impact of the edible coating such as aloe vera and chitosan, used either separately or in combination form; in cold storage, on the; shelf life, and marketing period of mango fruit. Through two successive seasons 2019 &2020, the influence of Aloe vera was studied 75%, chitosan 2% on; both physical and chemical properties; of mango fruit (cv. Langra) during cold storage (11 ± 1 C° and 85% RH). All treatments prolonged the storage period reached to more than a month nearly 40 days in a good condition while the control reached 30 days only. On the fortieth day, all treatments gave positive effects on fruit storage but the best treatment was the combined aloe vera with chitosan. This study recommended using the combination of chitosan and aloe vera with cold storage to prolong the storage period of mango fruit until 40 days in good condition and overcome the marketing and export abroad problems.
