Abacate, Doenças pré e pós-colheita, Armazenamento, EscurecimentoResumo
O abacateiro (Persea americana Mill.) é uma espécie vegetal da família Lauraceae que compreende três raças geográficas e cultivares resultantes da hibridização de duas ou mais raças e essas variedades são cultivadas mundialmente. A distribuição original desta espécie foi na América tropical, do México através da América Central até a Colômbia, Venezuela, Equador e Peru. Esta fruta tem sido referida como a mais nutritiva de todas as frutas. É altamente valorizado não só pela sua textura única, sabor e aroma requintados, mas também pelo seu perfil nutricional. A qualidade dos frutos de abacate depende de aspectos associados às práticas agronômicas pré-colheita e pós-colheita. Doenças e distúrbios são considerados o fator mais importante para danos em frutas nos níveis cosmético, organoléptico e nutricional, induzindo uma redução na percepção de qualidade multifuncional. A baixa temperatura é fundamental para prolongar a vida útil dos abacates, retardando o metabolismo através da redução das taxas de respiração. Este trabalho visa fornecer informações sobre a cadeia produtiva do abacate, reunindo diversos aspectos interessantes desde a colheita até a embalagem desses frutos.
