Flavor, Quality & StorageWhy must a commercial mango firming treatment be checked for bitterness as well as firmness?
Calcium treatments can help tissue retain firmness, but the chosen compound and application can also affect flavor. Calcium chloride, in particular, can introduce bitterness under unsuitable conditions. Evaluate the treated product after realistic storage using both texture measurements and sensory assessment. Select a validated food-processing procedure rather than maximizing firmness alone or turning published experimental concentrations into an improvised household treatment.
