Effects of Delayed Precooling on the Postharvest Quality and Anthracnose Incidence of “Irwin” Mangoes

Table 1

Effects of delayed precooling on the firmness, TSS, and TA of Irwin mangoes stored for 30 d at 5°C, then allowed to thaw for 3 d at 20°C.

Indicator	Precooling delay
	3 h	6 h	12 h	24 h	LSD
Firmness ()	^a	^ab	^b	^ab	5.4082
TSS (°Brix)	^a	^a	^a	^a	1.8692
TA (%)	^a	^a	^ab	^b	0.1161

Data represent the of three replicates. Different superscript lowercase letters within the column indicated significantly different values according to one-way ANOVA, followed by the least significant difference test ().
