Susceptible mango cultivars tend to develop more internal breakdown (jelly
seed, soft nose and stem-end cavity) the longer that harvesting is delayed
(Raymond et al., 1998; see Galán Saúco, Chapter 9, this volume). As a tropical
species, mangoes are subject to chilling injury (CI), which limits the use of
refrigeration to maintain postharvest quality. Mangoes are also subject to
other physiological disorders, physical damage and decay, the symptoms of
which may make the fruit unmarketable (Yahia et al., 2006a).
