Abstract : Spongy tissue, which occurred in 19% of mangoes at harvest, was localized predominantly at the distal end of the fruit, whereas postharvest exposure of fruits to the sun around midday resulted in the greatest occurrence of spongy tissue in the middle part of the fruit. This localization, sometimes on one side of the fruit only, points to convected heat as being the cause of spongy tissue disorder.
