Mangoes (Mangifera indica L.) are among the most popular tropical fruits. However, mango fruit is susceptible to various dis- eases, especially to anthracnose disease caused by the fungus Col- letotrichum gloeosporioides Penz. Application of fungicides, such as prochloraz and mancozeb, is usually used to control anthracnose
disease (Arauz, 2000). Fungicide-resistant strains occur when fungicides are used frequently for long periods. In addition, con- sumers are currently concerned about the risks of chemical resi- dues on agricultural products. Recently, many researchers have attempted to replace chemical treatments with alternative and safer technologies. Hot water treatment is one of the most prom- ising non-fungicide technologies and quarantine treatment for controlling postharvest diseases. Hot water treatment can be applied effectively to suppress certain important postharvest pathogens in a number of fruits, such as Penicillium expansum on pears (Zhang et al., 2008), Penicillium digitatum Sacc. on lemon fruits (Nafussi et al., 2001), C. gloeosporioides on papaya fruits
