Abstract

Mango fruit plays an important economic role in Côte d’Ivoire as the third major exported fruit after banana and pineapple. The producing regions of mango fruits are in Northern of Côte d’Ivoire and the most cultivated varieties are Kent, Keitt and Amélie. The main issue of the mango value chain in Côte d’Ivoire is linked to poor agricultural practices and postharvest losses due to climateric characteristics of the fruit. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of bioactive edible coating made of garlic extract and cassava starch as a novel approach to enhance the postharvest quality and shelf-life of Keitt mango fruit. Experimental approach was based on coating treatments by dipping Keitt mango fruits in cassava starch gel (2, 3 and 4%, w/v) with or without incorporation of garlic extract (4%, v/v). The use of edible coating highlighted the following results after 20 days of storage at ambient temperature: weight loss (10 – 14% FW); ratio TSS/TA (0.05 – 0.1), vitamin C (46 – 73% retention), total phenolic compounds (50 – 67% retention), antioxydant activity (62 – 69% retention). Moreover, garlic extract incorporated to cassava starch coating was found to have positive effects on extending postharvest quality characteristics of mango fruits. Overall, it was found that the coatings extended the self-life of Keitt mango fruits and improved their fresh quality compared to control after 20 days of storage at ambient temperature. It could be concluded that cassava starch coatings enriched with garlic extract might be a valuable alternative to extend the postharvest life of mango fruits.
