'Van Dyke' mango fruits were harvested at physiological maturity and stored in active modified atmosphere conditions using different plastic packages (modified atmosphere packaging, MAP). Two-fruit-samples were placed in sealed caliber 2 and caliber 3 low density polyethylene packages (LDPE), using two initial atmosphere gas mixtures. Wrapped fruit and control fruit (without bagging) were kept at 12 °C and 90% relative humidity (RH) for 30 days plus 5 days' shelf life at 18 °C and 70% RH. Caliber 3 LDPE film ensured that injected O2 concentration remained more stable and increased CO2 content during storage time than caliber 2 film. MAP treatment increased fruit shelf-life by delaying the ripening process. MAP drastically reduced fruit weight loss and increased ascorbic acid content compared to control. Negative correlation was found between fruit weight loss and fruit ascorbic acid content and O2 concentration within the plastic film and fruit ascorbic acid content. By contrast, there was direct correlation between CO2 content within MAP and the ascorbic acid content of fruit. Mango fruit wrapped in caliber 2 PE film ensured the longest extension of the ripening period, without incurring fruit skin lesions. Fruit in caliber 3-PE-film failed to ripen due to flesh softening being inhibited and organic acid degradation.

Frutos de mango 'Van Dyke' se cosecharon en madurez fisiológica y se almacenaron en condiciones de atmósfera modificada activa, empleando diferentes empaques de plástico (modified atmosphere packaging, MAP). Muestras de dos frutos fueron empacadas en bolsas de polietileno de baja densidad (LDPE) calibre 2 (0,0350 mm) y calibre 3 (0,0722 mm), utilizando dos mezclas de gases iniciales. Los frutos embolsados y los testigos (sin embolsar) se colocaron a temperatura de 12 °C y 90% de humedad relativa (HR) durante 30 d, más 5 d en anaquel (shelf life) a 18 °C y 70% HR. Las bolsas calibre 3 mantuvieron más estable la concentración del O2 inyectado y aumentaron más el contenido de CO2, que los empaques calibre 2. Los tratamientos en atmósfera modificada incrementaron la vida útil de los frutos retardando el proceso de maduración. El MAP disminuyó drásticamente la pérdida del peso de los frutos e incrementó el ácido ascórbico, respecto al testigo. Hubo correlación inversa entre pérdidas de peso del fruto y contenido de ácido ascórbico y entre concentración de O2 en el empaque y contenido de ácido ascórbico. En contraste, hubo correlación directa entre concentración de CO2 en el MAP y contenido de ácido ascórbico. Los mangos embolsados en PE calibre 2 maduraron en un mayor tiempo, respecto al testigo, sin presentar lesiones sobre la piel. Los frutos empacados en bolsas de PE calibre 3 no maduraron, debido al no ablandamiento de la pulpa y a la no degradación de los ácidos orgánicos.
