| Abstract: | Mango (Mangifera indica Linn.) is an
important tropical fruit having a huge demand in world markets. India produces
around 11ยท4 million tonnes of mangoes annually while contributing meagerly in
the world market, mainly because of lack of precision in sorting methods based
on internal quality. Consumer preference is mainly driven by sweetness. Increase
in total soluble solids (TSS), carotenoid pigments and decrease in acidity are
some indicators of sweetness of mango. Presently most consumers determine these
by experiencing surface firmness, gloss, aroma, flavour, etc., which is often misleading. |
