The objective of this work was to verify the behavior of mangoes cv. Palmer treated with 1- methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) stored under refrigeration and under refrigeration associate in exposure for four days at room temperature. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomly design, 3 x 6 factorial, with 3 levels of the factor concentration of 1-methylcyclopropene (0 nL.L-1- witness, 100 nL.L-1 and 150 nL.L-1) and 6 levels of the factor period of storage (0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days of cool storage, on the set up 1, and 0, 7 + 4, 14 + 4, 21 + 4, 28 + 4 and 35 days of cool storage + 4 days of room storage, on the set up 2), with 3 replicates. The experimental units were built up with 2 fruits. The use of 1-methylcyclopropene on the fruit kept under refrigeration reduces the weight and ascorbic acid losses, delaying but not avoiding the ripening. The treatment with 150 nL.L-1 is not more efficient than that with 100 nL.L-1, in accord to the analysed chemical characteristics. The increased weight loss of fruits stored under environmental conditions promoted expressive shriveling and loss of quality, on the basis of analyses of soluble solids, soluble sugars and titratable acidity.
