dc.description.abstract The application of various antibiotics at different concentrations (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 ppm) for the extension of storage life and quality of fazli mango was studied. The physical properties such as appearance, colour, flavor, taste and texture of all antibiotics treated mangoes were more attractive than those of control one. The storage life of treated mango was prolonged significantly as compared to that of control one. The weight loss control capacity of antibiotics treated mango at 20 ppm of etracycline, amoxicillin 50 ppm, co-trimoxazole 20 and 30 ppm, cefradine 50 ppm, zithromycin 20 ppm was higher than that from control mango. The superior treatment tetracycline 20 ppm, co-trymoxazole 20 & 30 ppm and cefradin 50 ppm reduced the physiological loss in weight 15.79% to 33.62% with respect to control at 14th day. But at 15th day the treatments tetracycline 20 ppm, co-trymoxazole 20 ppm and cefradin 50 ppm reduced the physiological loss in weight 29.34% to 34.33% with respect to control mango. The nutritional qualities of mango were also affected remarkably after treatment with antibiotics. At the last edible stage chemical analysis of mango pulp from antibiotics treated mango at tetracycline 20 ppm, amoxicillin 50 ppm, co-trymoxazole 20 and 30 ppm, ciprofloxacin 20 ppm, cefradin 30 ppm, azithrornycin 20 ppm, cefixime 20 and 30 ppm showed higher pH (5.25, 5.25, 6.20, 6.25, 6.15, 6.32, 5.65, 6.31 and 5.24), total soluble solids (TSS) (12.0%, 11.5%, 15.0%, 19.0%, 18.5%, 17.0%, 15.0%, 14.0% and 13.5%), total sugar (9.79, 6.59, 8.96, 9.77, 11.53, 9.99, 12.39, 9.80 and 10.32 g/100g), protein (0.79%, 1.03%, 0.38%, 0.54%, 0.49%, 0.39%, 0.46%, 0.60% and 0.50%), and iron ( 0.9344, 1.0529, 0.4602, 0.6204, 0.4010, 0.7858, 1.2985, 0.6909 and 0.7572 mg/100g) in comparison to control mango (pH = 5.19, TSS = 10%, total sugar = 10.9 g/l00g, protein = 0.57% and iron = 0.7218 mg/100g). In comparison to control mango it is evident that the antibiotic treated mangoes might be in superior quality as it contains higher vitamin A, vitamin C, total soluble solids, total sugar, iron (Fe) and pH than those of control one. en_US
