Abstract

Three-colored mango (Mangifera Indica) was evaluated for quality at different harvesting ages. The study was to evaluate and analyse its chemical compositions (soluble dry matter content, starch, reducing sugar, vitamin C, carotene) so as to come up with a colour band of this mango type upon its harvesting and storage times. The results showed that there were differences in its chemical composition at different harvesting ages. At 110-115 days, it was mature for harvesting and after 10 days of storage its sensory value remained fresh with its soluble dry matter content, carotene, and reducing sugar increased, but the vitamin C and starch content decreased. Thus, it was still good for consumption and processing. Thereby, the colour band of the three-colored mango harvested at 110-115 days and during storage times was made.
