Abstract : The extent to which intermittent warming reduced chilling injury in mangoes stored at 2 ± 0.5°C was investigated. The chilling injury was reduced if the fruits were intermittently warmed. The membrane permeability increased more slowly than that in the untreated samples. Intermittent warming also delayed the decrease in reduced glutathione and ascorbic acid.
