Storage Time as an Index for Varietal Prediction of Mango Ripening: A Systemic Approach Validated on Five Senegalese Varieties.

species presents a wide varietal diversity in terms of fruit size and morphology and also of physicochemical and organoleptic properties of the pulp. In Senegal, in addition to the well-known export varieties, such as 'Kent', local varieties have been little studied particularly during ripening. This study aims to propose prediction models integrating variables deduced from varietal characteristics.

Impact of Special Drying Schemes on Color Stability of Mangoes with Different Maturity Degrees.

A previous study demonstrated that the color of 4 mm mango slices is altered very slightly by drying for 5 h at 60 °C, 30% RH and 1 m/s. 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.

Impact of Preharvest and Postharvest on Color Changes during Convective Drying of Mangoes.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the harvest stage, ripening conditions and maturity on color changes of cv. 'Cogshall' and cv. 'Kent' variety mangoes during drying.

Identification and thermal degradation kinetics of chlorophyll pigments and ascorbic acid from ditax nectar (Detarium senegalense J.F. Gmel).

Detarium senegalense J.F. Gmel (ditax) is a forest tree found in Senegal the fruits of which are characterized by an attractive green flesh with a high amount in ascorbic acid.
