Abstract:The fruit of Spondias purpurea L. is well accepted from different regions of Latin America. In many cases, however, their postharvest quality and physiological behavior have not been adequately studied. These aspects were therefore examined in five commercially grown ecotypes from Mexico. To this end, samples of green-, half ripe-, and ripe-harvested fruit were stored at 25 °C (60 % RH) for 5 d – with several indicators of quality and postharvest behavior periodically assessed. Four out of the five ecotypes ex… Show more
