Abstract

Mango fruits (Mangtfera indica L.) Keitt variety, harvested in the pre-climateric stage were treated with 500 and 1,000 ppm of Ethrel (except the control). Soluble carbohydrates, vitamin C, proteins and humidity were evaluated on the samples at 3, 6, 9 and 16 days post-harvest. The results obtained, showed that Ethrel did not have influence on the chemical characteristics of the fruits. Fruits showed modificátions during the maturation only for the parameters of soluble carbohydrate and vitamin C.
