Currently Colombia does not have enough studies on avocado sensory quality. So, the aim of this work was to evaluate the harvest index and storage duration on avocado sensory quality. Avocado fruit were harvested from 5 farms in Antioquia. Sensory descriptors were evaluated on a scale from 0 to 5, and general quality (GQ) was evaluated from 0 to 3. Fruit with low GQ exhibit hard, wet, and fibrous textures; they taste green, astringent, spicy, sour, umami, and acid, and the odor is sour, green, and acid. Fruits have a low sensory quality at the beginning of the harvest season. As DM content increases, the sensory quality improves. Orchard location and fruit storage duration influenced its sensory descriptors and general quality.

Colombia actualmente no tiene estudios sobre calidad sensorial de aguacate. Por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto del índice cosecha y almacenamiento sobre la calidad sensorial del aguacate. Los frutos se cosecharon de 5 fincas en Antioquia. Descriptores sensoriales fueron evaluados en un escalda de 0 a 5 y calidad general de 0 a 3. Frutos con baja calidad exhibieron textura húmeda, dura y fibrosa; sabor verde, astringente, picante, amargo, umami, ácido; olor amargo, verde y ácido. Al inicio de la cosecha los frutos tuvieron baja calidad sensorial. A medida que aumenta el contenido de DM, mejora la calidad sensorial. La ubicación del huerto y la duración del almacenamiento de la fruta influyeron en sus descriptores sensoriales y en la calidad general.
