Reunion Island mangoes, cv. Cogshall, were harvested from
a commercial orchard every 7–14 d from fruit set to commercial
maturity (61–115 d after fruit set, mature green stage, Table 1),
and were air-shipped to Marseille, France and transported to
CIRAD, Montpellier, France. One batch of four fruit was immediately
homogenized individually upon receipt (green fruit),
while the remaining 6–8 fruit were ripened in air at 20 ◦C for 1
week prior to homogenizing (ripe fruit). Each homogenized fruit
was frozen individually, stored at −20 ◦C, and was considered a
single sample unit for later electronic nose or gas chromatography
(GC) analysis, both of which were performed in duplicate.
