Processing, such as fresh cutting and drying, is essential to enhance profitability; therefore, to limit waste and reduce losses in fruit production such as mangoes. Metabarcoding and microbial enumeration methods were utilized to explore the structure of mango microbiota, as well as their evolution after processing. Two mango ripening stages of cv.

The objectives of this complementary study were to determine the impact of various drying procedures encountered in the drying units on color alterations of sulfite-free mango slices from heterogeneous raw material due to variable maturity degrees of mangoes. Drying procedures with various temperature/humidity/duration combinations were performed to analyze their effects on the color of natural dried mangoes according to the degree of fruit maturity.
