Conteúdo: | The avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is a plant species of the family Lauraceae that includes three geographic races and cultivars resulting from the hybridization of two or more races and these varieties are cultivated worldwide. The original distribution of this species was in tropical America, from Mexico through Central America to Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. This fruit has been referred to as the most nutritious of all fruits. It is highly valued not only for its unique texture, exquisite taste and aroma, but also is nutritional profile. Quality of avocado fruits depends on aspects associated with pre-harvest and postharvest agronomical practices. Diseases and disorders are considered the most important factor for fruit damage at cosmetic, organoleptic and nutritional levels inducing a reduction in the perception of multifunctional quality. Low temperature is fundamental in extending the shelf life of avocados by retarding the metabolism through reduced respiration rates. This work aims to provide information about the avocado production chain, bringing together several interesting aspects from the harvest to the packaging of these fruits.
