Abstract
Quick-freezing of Hawaii fruits is a comparatively new process in the Islands, and much work is needed to determine the methods that will provide products of high quality. Mangos grow on all the Hawaiian Islands, but not all varieties are available on every island. Since 1949, this laboratory has frozen all of the superior named mango varieties obtainable (unknown seedlings were not included), varying the treatment and type of product, and testing the frozen samples after different periods of storage. This paper presents the descriptions of 21 Hawaii varieties of mangos and the results of freezing tests (for 20 varieties) for two seasons
