| description | The high demand for mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits has led sellers to
employ ripening agents. However, concerns are growing regarding the potential
toxicities of induced ripening, emphasizing the need for scientific
investigation. Samples of artificially and naturally ripened mangoes were
analyzed for proximate composition using standard protocols. Cytogenotoxicity
was then assessed using the Allium cepa L. toxicity test. Twenty (20)A. cepa
(onion) bulbs were used, with 5 ripened naturally, 5 with wood ash, 5 with
herbaceous ash, and 5 with rice chips, all grown over tap water for five days.
The root tips of the bulbs were assayed and examined for chromosomal
aberrations. The results revealed a significant (P |

The root tips of the bulbs were assayed and examined for chromosomal
aberrations. The results revealed a significant (P<0.05) increase in moisture,
protein, and ash content of mangoes as ripening agents were introduced. Mangoes
ripened with wood ash exhibited the highest moisture content (81%), while those
ripened with rice chips had the highest protein (0.5%) and ash content (1.5%).
Naturally ripened mangoes displayed the highest fat (0.0095%) and fiber
(11.46%) contents. The A. cepa toxicity test indicated significant (p<0.05)
differences in the root growth of mangoes ripened with various agents. Wood ash
resulted in the highest root growth (2.62cm), while herbaceous ash had the
least (2.18%). Chromosomal aberrations, including sticky, vagrant, and laggard
abnormalities, were observed in all agents, with herbaceous ash exhibiting the
highest and rice chips the least. The obtained results suggest that induced
ripening of the fruits could induce toxicities, highlighting the necessity for
public awareness regarding the potential dangers posed by these agents.</description><identifier>DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2408.01425</identifier><language>eng</language><subject>Quantitative Biology - Other</subject><creationdate>2024-06</creationdate><rights>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</rights><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>228,230,780,885</link.rule.ids><linktorsrc>$$Uhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2408.01425$$EView_record_in_Cornell_University$$FView_record_in_$$GCornell_University$$Hfree_for_read</linktorsrc><backlink>$$Uhttps://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2408.01425$$DView paper in arXiv$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Obadiah, CD</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Yahaya, TO</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Aliero, AA</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Abdulkareem, M</creatorcontrib><title>Comparative Evaluation of the Proximate and Cytogenotoxicity of Ash and Rice Chips Used as Mango Fruit Artificial Ripening Agents in Birnin Kebbi, Nigeria</title><description>The high demand for mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits has led sellers to
