Effects of Bagging on the Pericarpial Coloration of'Irwin'Mango During Fruit Development
Irwin mango was used to study the effects of bagging on the peel pigment and peel color during fruit growth and development.The results showed that the content of the pericarp chlorophyll,carotenoid,anthocyanin and flavonoid of mango bagged with composite paper bags(yellow outside and black inside)were significantly lower than that of no bagged fruits and white single bagged fruits.The peel lightness of fruits with composite bags(yellow outside and black inside)was significantly higher than that of no bagged fruits,while chroma was significantly lower than that of no bagged fruits.
