A metabolomics-based approach for the evaluation of off-tree ripening conditions and different postharvest treatments in mangosteen ( Garcinia mangostana )

ConclusionsOur findings clearly indicate that there is a similar trend of metabolic changes between on-tree and off-tree ripening conditions. Additionally, postharvest treatment directly or indirectly influences many metabolic processes (cell-wall degrading process, sweet-acidic taste quality) during postharvest treatment.
