Mangoes are seasonal fruit and are available only during the fruit season. However with the advances in food technology mangoes are processed and mango pulp is obtained which can be preserved and consumed throughout the year.Soft ripe mangoes are ideal for freezing and preserving the fruit, with or without syrup. Mango scoops, cubes, are preserved in cans or bottles. Slices last longer when the fruit is uniformly ripe and have a crisp and succulent texture.Sour varieties of mangoes are suitable for pickling as well as the fiber varieties. Mangoes in the whole do not freeze well and should be avoided. Only mangoes which are sliced or diced should be frozen.

     

Mango pulp characteristics

Mango yields vary with the age of the tree and the cultivar. An annual yield could be around two to three hundred fruits for a tree that is between ten to twenty years old and the crop doubles with the age of the tree, some of the Indian varieties bear up to three fruits per season and are known to produce about five thousand when good attention is paid.
A great deal of study has gone into packing and storing of mangoes to prolong life and prevent spoiling of the fruit. Packing methods also help the fruit keep for a longer time during travel to distant markets. Paper jelly is used in India for packing of mango fruit to avoid build up of heat which affects the fruits. These fruits are packed into ventilated cartons or wooden crates and then loaded into wooden box cars. The ambient temperature for mango fruits is thirty one up to forty six degrees Celsius. 
The quality of the mango pulp is totally dependent on the fruit, the process and the packing and climatic conditions under which it is stored. Deviations in these areas are likely to affect the quality of the mango pulp.

Mango pulp demand

With the demand for Indian mango pulp increasing consistently in the world markets it is inevitable that adequate steps are taken to meet the rising demand and also ensure that quality is simultaneously sustained for even further export. Another area which need attention is to promote premium varieties of mangoes such as Alphonso, Kesar, Neelum as the Totapuri variety is coming under pressure.

India is the leading mango pulp suppliers of fresh mango fruit and processed mango pulp products.Mango pulp in largely consumed by the food industry for process of fruit based beverages, in dairy products, and the bakery and confectionery sectors.To keep In tune with the growing business Indian farmers are going in for sophisticated process and efficient utilization of facilities that include sold storage, quality processing plant and machinery, and bringing out a better and improved product.

Basic methodologies for plucking, handling, transporting and storing are implemented for avoiding injury to the fruit and eliminating wastage. The introduction of organic farming and fine tuning of the agricultural cycles and continued research in bring in new varieties are under way as part of the export program.

Fluctuating working capital needs, streamlined marketing policies in tune with international practices which had hampered trade have now been smoothened out to give pep to exports. The cost factor which had largely been based on high airfares have now been addressed and shipments are now being sent by sea thereby drastically cutting down on the cost factor.  Another factor contributing to rise in exports is the vapor heat treatment process being used for treatment of fruits and vegetables that are exported to United States, Japan and Australia.

Latest packaging technology and aseptic packing is in use for longer shelf life of mango pulp and certifications like HACCP and others are in vogue.
