“…In the research conducted by (GONÇALVES et al, 2004), it was observed that the browning characterized by skin cracks and grooves is associated to the delay on the fruit harvest, resulting in high soluble solids concentration and bioconversion of sucrose into glucose and fructose, thus increasing the localized osmotic pressure. Moreover, it was observed that the flesh under skin containing cracks and grooves presents sorbitol, molecule known in rosaceous for being synthesized and translocated through the phloem under stress conditions, for example, at low temperatures.…”
