high storage temperature increased off-flavour of coated and uncoated mangoes at a faster rate than low temperature(Fig.1).Coated and uncoated fresh-cut mangoes had no significant difference on off-flavour at low-temperature storage.However,coated fresh-cut mango in MAP was slower off-flavour was from anaerobic respiration which produced and released alcohol and acetaldehyde.Low-temperature storage normally lowers respiration rate and reduces off-flavour. This was similar to the finding in gluten-based and composite coating on strawberries (Tanada-Palmu &Grosso,2005),commercial edible coating on fresh-cut mangoes and mango film coating on fresh-cut mango without MAP.This was consistent with a decrease in oxygen and an increase in carborn dioxide concentrations during storage including higher ethanol concentration at high storage temperature.
