Seedling mango (Mangifera indica L.) with wide variations in its quality characteristics has been found in the vast tract of lower hills of HP (Himachal Pradesh). It has got tremendous potential for the production of various traditional products including pickle, since brining is an important interface between harvesting and pickle production, so studies were aimed to see the quality changes of mature green fruit from different locations of HP in brine. Fruits were washed, cut into pieces and stored in 20 per cent brine along with their stones for 4 months at ambient temperature conditions (21-25 oC). Most significant changes in titratable acidity, chlorophyll, ascorbic acid and total phenols were observed along with sensory parameters. Among all the locations, brined mango pieces from Bhoranj location in district Hamirpur were found to be best on the basis of various quality characteristics after storage.
