Abstract
Badami (Alphonso) mangoes were dipped in 1.7β2.7% aqueous emulsions of a fungicidal wax containing 5% of oβphenylphenol^*^ and after drying in a current of hot air the fruit was stored at 79β86Β° F and R.H. 55β87%. The treatment was found to lessen the physiological losses in weight, increase the retentions of vitamin C and moisture, delay ripening, decrease the percentage wastage and increase the storage life of the fruit.
