A healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables with high contents of bioactive compounds and antioxidants has become an essential habit among the human population, leading to a significant increase in the commercial trade of many fruits, especially of tropical and subtropical origins. The content of phytonutrients in fruits depends on various pre-harvest factors, especially agroclimatic conditions of temperature, light, and air humidity, as well as crop management and fruit maturity stage. Among the essential phytonutrients found in fruits that promote health and prevent diseases are the carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, lutein, etc.), phenolic compounds (flavonoids, phenolic acids, among others), monoterpenes (i.e., limonene), isoprenoids (i.e., lipophilic vitamins), and ascorbic acid. Factors of temperature, light intensity, UV light, and water stress promote the synthesis of phytochemicals in fruits. In contrast, an excess of these factors can either increase or decrease the accumulation of these compounds in fruits. In addition to different abiotic stresses that result from climatic conditions and have inter- and intra-annual variations, the geographical locations, elevation, and genotype influence the content of bioactive compounds in fruits. There is a strong interest in manipulating changes in climate conditions as a factor in fruit quality, including the phytochemical content, while reducing yield losses. This review aimed to explore how preharvest environmental factors affect accumulation of phytochemicals in fruits, which are important for plant resilience and human health, with an emphasis on tropical and subtropical fruit species.

Una dieta saludable rica en frutas y verduras con altos contenidos en compuestos bioactivos y antioxidantes se ha convertido en un hábito alimenticio muy importante de la población, conllevando a un incremento significativo en la comercialización de muchos frutos, especialmente de origen tropical y subtropical. El contenido de estos fitonutrientes en frutos depende de los factores precosecha, especialmente de las condiciones agroclimáticas como temperatura, luz y humedad del aire, aparte del manejo del cultivo y de la madurez del fruto, entre otros. Dentro de los fitonutrientes más importantes están los carotenoides (α-caroteno, β-caroteno, β-criptoxantina, licopeno, luteína, entre otros), compuestos fenólicos (flavonoides, ácidos fenólicos, entre otros), monoterpenos (por ejemplo, limoneno), isoprenoides (por ejemplo, vitaminas lipofílicas), y el ácido ascórbico. Factores como temperatura, intensidad lumínica, luz UV y el estrés hídrico promueven la biosíntesis de fitoquímicos en los frutos, mientras que el exceso de estos factores puede aumentar o disminuir la acumulación de estos compuestos en los frutos. Aparte de los tipos de estrés abiótico por las condiciones climáticas, con sus variaciones interanuales e intraanuales, también la ubicación geográfica y elevacional y los diferentes genotipos influyen en los contenidos de compuestos bioactivos de los frutos. Existe un gran interés por aprovechar las condiciones del cambio climático como mecanismo para aumentar la calidad de los productos, incluyendo los contenidos de fitoquímicos, reduciendo al tiempo las pérdidas en los rendimientos de los cultivos. El objetivo de esta revisión fue explorar cómo los factores ambientales en precosecha afectan la acumulación de fitoquímicos en los frutos, los cuales son importantes para la salud humana y la resiliencia de las plantas, con un enfoque en especies tropicales y subtropicales.
