Abstract: The present investigation had sixteen treatment combinations, which had been replicated three times and was laid out in Completely Randomized Design. At maturity condition mango fruits were harvested and stored in cardboard card board carton by post harvest application of salicylic acid at 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 g/l doses. The data revealed that lowest physiological loss weight (2.12 %) was recorded in Langra variety at five days storage by 0.5 g/l salicylic acid application. Maximum pectin content (1.96 %) was recorded in Langra variety at 15 days ambient storage period by 0.5 g/l salicylic acid application. Highest pectin methyl esterase (0.91 units/g) reported in variety Dashahari at 5 days storage by 1.0 g/l salicylic acid application. The highest polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity (56.38 units/g) was noticed in variety Dashahari at 5 days storage by 0.1 g/l salicylic acid treatment. Highest peroxidase activity and beta carotene content (463.69 units/g and 3495.93 μg/100g) was reported in Dashahari variety at 20 days ambient storage period by 0.5 g/l salicylic acid application. Maximum TSS content (28.00 Brix0) was reported in variety Chausa at 20 days ambient storage period by 0.5 g/l salicylic acid treatment. Thus the presented study indicated that salicylic acid enhanced the TSS, beta carotene, peroxidase activity but decreased the polyphenol oxidase and pectin methyl esterase enzyme activity. Salicylic acid significantly decreased the physiological loss weight during storage in cardboard carton.
