Prevent Mangoes from Changing Color Faster with This Method

Dream - Mango has a fresh taste and a soft texture, so it is often enjoyed during hot weather. Mango can also be processed into various dishes, ranging from juice to pudding.

"Unfortunately, mangoes must be eaten immediately after being cut to prevent their texture and color from easily changing. The oxidation process that occurs when a mango is peeled causes the color and texture of its flesh to change. Quoted from Diadona, the change in color to brown or blackish occurs due to exposure to oxygen reacting with enzymes in the fruit flesh. If you want to prevent the fruit flesh from quickly changing color and texture, pay attention to the following tips."

Friend Dream can buy mangoes that have a solid texture if they don't want to eat them immediately. Mangoes with a solid texture are not fully ripe, so they can be stored for several days without rotting or turning brown. On the other hand, if you want to consume them immediately, buy mangoes that have a softer texture and are already ripe.

"Save in an Airtight Container"

Storing mango fruit meat in an airtight container can prevent contact with oxygen that triggers enzymatic reactions, so the fruit does not easily change color. Use a zip lock container that has had its air removed beforehand when storing mango fruit if you want to save space in the refrigerator.

Freeze in the Freezer

Save the fruit in the freezer at a temperature of 3 to 7 degrees Celsius if you want to keep the taste and color from changing for a long time.
