The fruit were processed
in a sanitized cold room with a temperature of 5 °C. Before being
peeled, all mangoes were immersed for 3 min in a (1.3 mM)
sodium hypochlorite solution (NaOCl, Clorox®, Oakland, CA)
at 5 °C, adjusted to pH 7 with 2 N citric acid solution (Fisher

were submerged in a second sodium hypochlorite solution (1.3
mM) at 5 °C for 1 min, and left to drain until they were processed
(5–15 min).
