Abstract

In Roraima, the increasingly prominent production of mangoes cv. “Tommy Atkins”, with great prospects for the future, is becoming an economically viable option for cultivation in agroforestry systems, developed in small fields, generally in family farming production systems. Therefore, it is very important to have full knowledge of its production and, evidently, of its metabolism in the face of occurrences of damage to the fruits during production, harvesting, processing, transportation, marketing, and storage. So, the treatments performed on mangoes consisted of the execution of three of the main types of damage, according to the performance of pre-tests (presented in the methodology), namely: control (normal harvest at 90 DAA, without the incidence of damage), fruit fall (1 m), fruit compression (50 N), and application of ethylene (200 ml L-1, for 24 h – simulation of acceleration of respiratory metabolism). At the end of the experimental period, it was found that the shelf life of the mangoes was impaired by all the damage caused, with the exogenous application of ethylene providing the greatest advance in ripening, with losses of 85% of their potential shelf life. Damage caused by compression and falling, on average, compromised them by 50% in terms of shelf life.
