Scientists discover the perfect temperature to keep mangoes fresh much longer

Scientists found that storing mangoes at 54°F dramatically slows ripening and keeps the fruit fresh far longer than typical tropical temperatures. The cooler conditions helped mangoes stay firm, retain moisture, and preserve important antioxidants while reducing cellular damage. Researchers also uncovered the internal defense systems that switch on during cold storage, protecting the fruit from stress and decay.
