Abstract : Ethysord paper (at sizes of 2?×5?, 3?×7? and 4?×8?) was used as lining of boxes where mango cv. Deshehari fruits were packed prior to storage at ambient temperature and in zero energy chamber. Storage durations were at 3, 6, 9 and 12 days. Physiological losses in weight (PLW) increased with increasing storage duration regardless of treatments. Ethysord paper at 3?×7? and 4?×8? reduced PLW. The lowest decay loss was observed in fruits packed with 4?×8? ethysord paper. Total soluble solids content was highest in fruits stored at ambient temperature and lowest in those stored in zero energy chamber.
