Differences in Lipid Metabolism, Polar Metabolites, and Phenolics in Persea americana under Two Storage Conditions

Harvested avocado fruits can be potentially exposed both to pre- and post-harvest factors that may influence the susceptibility of fruit quality loss. Regular air (RA) storage consists approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.3% carbon dioxide, smaller amounts some other gasses. A controlled atmosphere (CA) is a changed used delay respiration reduce fungal physiological deterioration, it an appropriate practical technology for prolonging shelf life maintaining on large scale. An experiment was conducted by collecting from two different orchards (Bartolillo Quilhuica) during harvest seasons based dry matter content subsequent years. The current study designed investigate changes in polar metabolites, phenolic compounds, fatty acids skin Hass avocados stored under distinct conditions. Bartolillo orchard were mostly correlated linoleic oleic acid as important variables. For Quilhuica, with palmitoleic, palmitic, acids. Phenolic increased at beginning decreased end one contrarily others, indicating result dependent condition. Serine, glutaric acid, xylitol D-mannitol metabolites most Quilhuica while ß-sitosterol gluconic related orchard. differences acids, phenolics
