In addition, some markets equire hydrothermal treatment for pest control, followed by fast cooling systems, which makes fruit temperature control a complex process. The objectives of this study were to develop an artificial mango for remote and real time monitoring of fruit and air temperatures and environmental relative humidity. The artificial fruit was developed according to ‘Tommy Atkins’ mango peel and flesh thermophysical behavior at different ripening stages. The artificial peel tissue was mimicked with poly lactic acid containing 5 % of wood powder, the flesh was obtained with 15 % agar and the seed was the sealed on-board electronic system for the peel, flesh, seed and environmental temperature sensors. The wireless transmission of data between the artificial fruit and the server was carried out using a transceiver, via Wi-Fi. The artificial fruit was used to simulate commercial conditions without or with hydrothermal treatment, followed by storage at 12 ◦C. The artificial fruit reached the recommended storage temperature of 12 ◦C after 300 minutes, which was the same time observed for ‘Tommy Atkins’ mango, at different ripening stages, subjected to hydrothermal and cooling treatments. The synergistic application of artificial fruit with on-board electronic and web-mobile systems is an innovative solution for real time monitoring fruit temperature under commercial conditions. The technology can be adjusted to other fruit species to ensure proper application of the cold chain and high fruit quality to consumers.  aPostharvest physiology  aPostharvest systems  aPostharvest technology  aPostharvest treatment  aFruticultura  aManga  aPós-Colheita  aTratamento Hidrotérmico  aCadeia fria  aFruta artificial  aTempo de resfriamento1 aOLIVEIRA, W.
