The main mango (Mangifera indica L.) production area is located in the North of Ivory Coast. But, the only quality parameters controlled for mangoes exported by packing stations in these localities are morphological and sensory criteria. Therefore, present study which focuses on three mango varieties (Kent, Amelie and Keitt) grown in Northern Ivory Coast, aims to evaluate their morphological characteristics and the physicochemical properties of their pulp. Thirty (30) mango samples constituted of ten (10) fruits of each variety were provided by packing stations of SODIPEX Company (Korhogo, Ivory Coast). Morphological and physicochemical characteristics of the three mango varieties were analyzed at Laboratory of Peleforo Gon Coulibaly University (Korhogo, Ivory Coast). The morphological parameters included caliber index, sphericity index and shape coefficient of each mango sample were evaluated. The proportions of different parts of mangoes (kernel, pulp and peel) were also determined. The physicochemical properties of mango pulps were analyzed for their moisture, pH, and acidity and reducing sugar. For morphological parameters, the results showed the caliber indexes of the three mango varieties varying from 9.01 ± 0.28 to 9.89 ± 0.50 were in range export criteria of European Union. Their sphericity indexes were ranged from an average of 1.36 ± 0.03 to 1.49 ± 0.06 and their shape coefficients were between 1.13 ± 0.06 and 1.29 ± 0.20. Therefore, these morphological parameters were indicated that the three (03) mango..................
