Mangoes are among the world's most popular tropical fruits, valued for their sweet flavor and rich nutritional content. But once harvested, mangoes continue to ripen quickly, making them highly vulnerable to softening, moisture loss, and spoilage during storage and transport
Now, researchers from Hainan University have uncovered why storing mangoes at 12°C (54°F) dramatically extends freshness without causing cold damage. Their study, published in Tropical Plants, found that the cooler temperature slows ripening, preserves fruit structure, and act…

- Scientists discover the perfect temperature to keep mangoes fresh much longer
- The cooler conditions helped mangoes stay firm, retain moisture, and preserve important antioxidants while reducing cellular damage
- Researchers also uncovered the internal defense systems that switch on during cold storage, protecting the fruit from stress and decay
Why this matters
- Scientists found that storing mangoes at 54°F dramatically slows ripening and keeps the fruit fresh far longer than typical tropical temperatures
