The pre-harvest applications of AVG alone, both at a dose of 0.125 g L − 1 , as well as in split dose and at a dose of 0.0625 g L − 1 , reduced the rate of ethylene production, showed less yellowing fruits and a lower incidence of cracks, maintaining high flesh firmness, texture attributes, and fruit acidity, without causing negative effects on the incidence of mealiness and decay. The pre-harvest applications of AVG at a dose of 0.125 g L − 1 and in split dose combined with ethephon also contributed to the reduction of the ethylene production rate and yellowing, showed high flesh firmness and texture, however, it showed a high incidence of decay and cracking when ethephon was combined with AVG at a dose of 0.125 g L − 1 . In the skin, application of AVG only at a dose of 0.125 g L − 1 reduced the total phenolic compounds values, however, total an- tioxidant activity was reduced with any form of AVG application. In the flesh, there was no effect of pre-harvest application of AVG. Regardless of the dose and form of application, AVG reduced the contents of chlorogenic acid, phloridizin, and epicatechin in the skin of fruits harvested at commercial harvest.  aAminoethoxyvinylglycine  aApples  aMaçã  aMalus Domestica  a2-Chloroethylphosphonic acid Bioactive compound  aInhibitor of ethylene synthesis  aShading1 aSTEFFENS, C.
