To our knowledge, the effects of harvest dates on
hydrophilic nutritional compounds in avocado fruit during storage
have not been previously investigated. Our results showed that the
total phenolic content increased and the ascorbic acid content was
not significantly different during storage at an early harvested fruit
(from January to March); also, the total phenolic content increased
slightly and then significantly decreased and the ascorbic acid content
decreased during storage at a late harvested fruit during storage
(from April to June)
