1. INTRODUCTION

The Government of India has been providing support for the holistic development of horticulture

through various schemes such as National Horticulture Mission (NHM), Horticulture Mission for

North East and Himalyan States (HMNEH), National Horticulture Board (NHB) and Coconut

Development Board (CDB).

2. HORTICULTURE (Especially Mango) SCENARIO in India

India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world with production of

81.3 million MT and 162.2 million MT respectively but its share in global export of fruits and

vegetables is around 1.4% only. Approximately 20 - 25% of fruits and vegetables get

wasted in the country. This is mainly caused due to lack of cold chain infrastructure which

includes both storage and transportation facilities.

Owing to great diversity in climatic condition prevailing in India, a variety of temperatures,

sub-tropical fruits, vegetables, spices and pulses are being cultivated. Fruits, vegetables

and marine products are highly perishable and subject to considerable loss and wastage. It is

estimated that about 25 to 30% of the produce of these commodities are spoiled every year

in India. In this context, in a tropical country like ours, the importance and usefulness of

ripening chambers and integrated pack houses needs no emphasis.

Ripening chambers play a vital role in extending the shelf life and period of marketing, avoiding

glut and post-harvest losses reducing transport bottlenecks during peak period of production

and maintenance of quality of produce. Hence, the development of ripening chambers in the

country has an important role in reducing the wastages of the perishable commodities and

providing remunerative prices to the growers and to make available farm products to the

consumers at competitive and affordable prices.

The cold chain industry in India is still at a budding stage and despite large production of

perishables, the cold chain potential still remain untapped due to high share of single

commodity cold storage, high initial investment (for refrigerator units and land), lack of enabling

infrastructure like power & roads, lack of awareness for handling perishable

produce and lapse of service either by the storage provider or the transporter is leading to

poor quality of produce.

However, increasing urbanization and growth of organized retail, food servicing and food

processing sector are boosting the growth of cold chain industry in India. The trend is

shifting towards establishing multipurpose cold storages, ripening chambers, pack houses

and providing end to end services to control parameters throughout the value chain.

Mango is the national fruit of India, known as the 'King of Fruits'. It is one of the most

important and popular Asian fruits. The fruit is very popular with the masses due to its wide

range of adaptability, high nutritive value, and richness in variety, delicious taste and

excellent flavour. The fruit is consumed in both forms raw and ripe.

Mango is grown in India in tropical and subtropical regions from sea to an altitude of 1500

meters. It is grown almost in all states of India. However, it is mainly cultivated in, Andhra

Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Uttar

Pradesh and West Bengal.

3. HORTICULTURE SCENARIO in Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh produces about 23.32 m. MT of horticulture produce from an area of 1.9

m. ha, accounting for 9.70% of total horticulture production in the country.

Andhra Pradesh is the third leading fruit producing state in the country after Tamil Nadu

and Maharashtra and its share accounts for 12.6% of the total production of fruits in the

country. The main fruits are Mango, Banana, Citrus, Papaya, Guava and Sapota.

Andhra Pradesh is the second largest producer of Mango in the country after Uttar

Pradesh. With a production of 3.36 m. MT tonnes from an area of 0.39 m. ha, Andhra

Pradesh produces about 22% of the mango in the country. The major mango producing

belts are Krishna, East & West Godavari, Khammam and Vijayanagaram. The commercial

mango varieties grown are Bangnapalli, Suvarnarekha, Neelum and Totapuri, of which

Bangnapalli is an early variety. The productivity of mango is 8.6 t/ha. A large number of

processing units have been set up in the Chittoor belt, mainly processing for Totapuri

variety for pulp, which is being exported.

Production of mango is concentrated in all the districts in Andhra Pradesh. However, in

terms of ranking, Krishna district in Coastal region (4.96 lakh MT), Chittoor district in

Rayalseema region (3.91 lakh MT) and Khammam district in Telangana region (3.34 lakh

MT) stand first, second and third position, respectively. Further, a number of mango

processing units (pulp and jelly making) are located in Chittoor and Krishna districts. With a

view to harnessing the export potential of mangoes produced in the State, AEZs for mango

pulp in Chittoor district and AEZ for fresh mango in Krishna district have been set up in the

State

4. POST-HARVEST MANAGEMENT

In order to deliver a quality product to the market and ultimately to the consumer to

command buyer attention and gives the grower a competitive edge, proper post-harvest

management is the need of the hour.

Nearly, 20-25 per cent of fruits are wasted due to faulty Post-harvest practices during

harvesting packaging, storage, grading etc. This wastage can be reduced to some extent

through proper and scientific methods.

Post-harvest management can be considered as second production operation to add

values to the products and the basic means for effective marketing. Post-harvest

management operations are quite diversified, consisting of collection, curing, pretreatment,

grading, packaging, pre-cooling, low temperature storage, pallet loading, transporting, and

depending upon various crops.

4.1 Post-harvest operations of Mangos

Improved post-harvest practices results in reduction in losses, improve overall quality,

extend shelf life and higher profits for growers and marketers.

Normally, Mangoes do not need any post-harvest treatment for marketing in local markets,

except simple washing with water to remove the latex and dust. On a commercial scale or

for export purpose, they are sometimes dipped in hot water, containing fungicide for the

control of diseases. However, hot water treatment (HWT) is an effective post-harvest

treatment for Mangoes. Dipping newly harvested fruits in hot water minimizes fruit fly

damage, anthracnose, and stem-end rot infections.

4.1.1. Curing, washing and cooling

Curing is necessary when fruits are to be stored for long periods to extend the shelf life.

The fruits are usually spread on the floor in the orchard’s yard, having the cushion of paddy

straw or simple straw for nearly 24 hrs and then washed to remove the dirt. Post-harvest

cooling rapidly removes field heat from freshly harvested fruits, which helps in stabilizing

the metabolic process. Post-harvest cooling can:

Suppress enzymatic degradation and respiratory activity (softening)

Slow or inhibit water loss (wilting)

Slow or inhibit the growth of decay-producing microorganisms(molds and bacteria)

Reduce production of ethylene (a ripening agent).

In addition to protecting quality, post-harvest cooling provides marketing flexibility by

making it possible to market at the optimum time. Few of the cooling methods are room

cooling, forced air-cooling and hydro cooling.

4.2.1 Grading

The fruits graded according to their size, weight, colour and maturity benefits both the

producer and consumer. It has been observed that bigger size fruits take 2-4 days more

time in ripening than smaller ones and hinder to achieve uniform ripening. Therefore,

grading according to size play an important role in packaging of the fruits. During grading,

the immature, overripe, damaged and diseased fruits should be discarded.

4.2.2 Advantages of Grading and standardization

i) Grading is beneficial to the farmers, traders as well as to the consumers, as

it provides common language to all.

ii) Grading of produce before sale enables farmers to get better price for their

produce.

iii) Grading assists producers and other intermediaries in preparing fresh

produce for market with appropriate labeling.

iv) Grading helps consumers to get standard quality produce at fair price.

v) It facilitates consumer to compare the prices of different qualities of a

produce in the market.

vi) It assures quality of the produce and also reduces cost of marketing and

transportation.

vii) Produce of similar grade can be stored in bulk.

viii) Market values are better understood.

ix) Commodities can be bought and sold without inspection, through e-trading.

x) Grading provides an authentic and scientific basis in promoting and

managing marketing system.

xi) It serves as a realistic and common basis for market intelligence and

reporting.

xii) It facilitates settlement of grading disputes between buyers and sellers.

4.2.3 Ripening

In India, 99% of the Mangoes are ripened by using Calcium Carbide, which is a toxic

chemical and extremely hazardous. It is the most economical way to ripen a mango, but a

banned chemical, and should not be used for ripening of fruits. Such fruits do not ripe

uniformly and quality of fruits remains inferior.

It would be better to treat the fruits with ethylene gas (100 ppm) in airtight room by

exposing them for 24 – 48 hrs under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, for

ripening purpose. These treatments ripen the fruits uniformly with attractive colour.

4.2.4 Uniformity

The contents of each package must be uniform and contain only mangoes of the same

origin, variety, quality and size. The visible part of the contents of the package must be

representative of the entire.

4.2.5 Packaging

Mangoes must be packed in such a way as to protect the produce properly. The materials

used inside the package must be new1, clean, and of a quality such as to avoid causing

any external or internal damage to the produce. The use of materials, particularly of paper

or stamps bearing trade specifications is allowed, provided the printing or labeling has been

done with non-toxic ink or glue. Mangoes shall be packed in each container in compliance

with the Recommended International Code of Practice for Packaging and Transport of

Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (CAC/RCP 44-1995, Amd. 1-2004).

4.2.6 Storage

Storage is essential for extending the consumption period of fruits, regulating their supply to

the market and for transportation to long distances. Storage of fruits is also important due

to reason that their production is seasonal, but demand remains for a longer period.

Storage at 10 to 13 °C (50 to 55 °F) with 85 to 90% RH, give a shelf life of 14 to 28 days for

mature green fruit, depending upon variety. Ripe fruits can be stored at 7 to 8 °C (44.6 to

46.4 °F). Mature green fruits can be stored at room temperature for about 4-10 days,

depending upon variety. When fruits are treated chemically and precooled to 10-12 oC

before storing them at an appropriate temperature, their shelf life is enhanced. Central

Institute for Subtropical Horticulture, Lucknow has suggested to store Dashehari and

Mallika at 12 °C, Langra at 15 °C, Chousa at 10 °C to enhance the shelf life to 2 to 3

weeks. It is better if fruits are precooled before keeping them at low temperature.

4.2.7 Transportation

Transportation is considered as backbone and lifeline of agricultural marketing. Surface,

rail, air and water are means of transporting of fruits.

4.2.8 Important Assembling markets in Andhra Pradesh

Vijayawada, Nuziveedu, Chittoor, Pakala, Tirupathi, Banarupalem, Palamaneru, Pottur and

Koduru.are the important assembling markets.

5. Calcium Carbide is not safe for ripening

Calcium Carbide is being used for ripening of fruits like banana, mango etc., which emits

harmful fumes and affects the health of the consumers. Calcium carbide is used in some

countries as source of acetylene gas, which is an artificial ripening agent. However,

acetylene is not nearly as effective for ripening as is ethylene, and acetylene is not a

natural plant hormone like ethylene. Calcium carbide may contain traces of arsenic and

phosphorous, both are highly toxic to humans and the use of this chemical for ripening is

illegal in most countries. The usage of Calcium carbide is banned in our country also.

6. Ethylene is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)

Ethylene is a natural plant hormone. It effects growth, development, ripening and

senescence (biological aging) of plants. It is normally produced in small quantities by most

fruits and vegetables. Many fruits produce larger quantities of ethylene and respond with

uniform ripening when exposed to an external source of ethylene.

When used in accordance with good manufacturing practice, USFDA recognized ethylene

as safe (GRAS).

Ethylene has been found not harmful or toxic to humans when used in the recommended

concentrations in ripening rooms. In fact, ethylene was used medically as an anesthetic in

concentration significantly greater than that found in ripening room. However, ethylene is

often targeted as the reason for difficulty in breathing in ripening rooms.

6.1 Ripening of Fruits

High humidity forced ripening chambers are normally used for fruit ripening. These

specially built gas tight rooms have systems for controlling temperature, humidity and

concentration of Ethylene and CO2 levels. The chambers have a 5 day cycle period.

Ripening of fruits is possible through two methods. (1) by using portable ethylene

generators and (2) by using fully automated centralized ripening system with ethylene gas

cylinder.

Pressurized ethylene gas is released at very slow rate by using a double stage gas

regulator and solenoid valves into the ripening chambers loaded with fruits until the

desired concentration is achieved and maintained.

6.2 System required for ethylene gas supply

1. CO2 Analyzer

2. Ethylene analyzer with concentration controller

3. Doping ethylene gas cylinder

4. Double stage gas regulator

5. Gas control system with fully automated concentration controller with solenoid

valves and dispensing pipeline.

6.3 Ripening Process

Crates with fruits are stacked about 7 to 8 crates height in the ripening chambers and the

doors and vents are closed. Ethylene gas is released and the concentration is maintained

at about 150 to 200 ppm, depending upon the fruit type, inside the chambers for 24 to 36

hours. After 24 hours, the doors and vents will be opened for venting out the ethylene and

CO2.
