Control mangos were stored at 18°C by 15 days. The fruits were harvested in the Frutol orchard, located in El Espinal, Tolima, average temperature 29°C, altitude 431 m, RH 70% and pluviosity of 1368 mm. During storage physical characteristics were evaluated as percentage of weight, firmness, fruit and pulp loss. Chemical and biochemical changes were also evaluated as the variation offBrix, pH, percentaje acidity, sucrose, glucose and fructose content and acids (citric, malic, succinic and ascorbic). Finally changes of color of the fruit skin were evaluated. Fruit stored at 12°C, ripened in 30 and were ready to eat. At this temperature the storage life doubled as compared to fruits stored at 18°C. Fruits tumed to be sensitive to temperatures of 10 and 7°C resulting in interruption of the maturation process specially at 7°C. At 10°C, evolution of characteristic<br />maturation changes developed antil day 20, but between<br />day 20 and day 30 changes were interrupted, which indicates that chilling injury became irreversible starting from day 20.}, number={1-2}, journal={Agronomía Colombiana}, author={Galvis, Jesús A. and Arjona, Harvey and Landwehr, Thomas and Martínez, Ricardo and Fischer, Gerhard}, year={2002}, month={Jan.}, pages={23–35} }
