Postharvest application of spermidine preserves nutritional quality and enhances post-harvest longevity of mango
The study demonstrates that postharvest application of spermidine, particularly at a 2.5 mM concentration, significantly preserves the nutritional quality, firmness, and antioxidant content of Amrapali mangoes while minimizing weight loss and spoilage, thereby extending their marketable shelf life by six days compared to untreated controls.
