PARRA C., ALFONSO e FISCHER, GERHARD. Ripening and postharvest behavior in the pineapple guava (Acca sellowiana (O. Berg) Burret). A review. rev.colomb.cienc.hortic. [online]. 2013, vol.7, n.1, pp.98-110. ISSN 2011-2173.
Due to its export potential, nutraceutical characteristics and agro-industrial use, the pineapple guava is considered a promising crop in Colombia. Different postharvest studies have indicated that the fruit has a typical climacteric behavior with high respiration rates and ethylene production, requiring immediate postharvest refrigeration to preserve its quality (temperatures of 4-10°C, 90-95% relative humidity). As the postharvest period elapses, fruit weight loss and pH increase; and fruit firmness decreases. The results are contradictory for the tendency of soluble solids and titratable acidity, probably influenced by varietal characteristics, plant age and climatic and growing conditions.
