ANTONIO YAM TZEC, José et al. A review about guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruit importance and their main ones characteristic in the postharvest. Rev Cie Téc Agr [online]. 2010, vol.19, n.4, pp. 74-82. ISSN 2071-0054.
The purpose of the bibliographical revision is the importance of the guava crop because of its economic contribution for some Mexican regions. Many problems arise during the commercialization; they are related to mechanical damages in the harvest, transportation and storage. These damages accelerate the physiological activity of fruits which results in economical losses due to the short life cycle of fruits. Once the fruits are harvested, they interact with many other factors. One of the ways to keep the product quality is taking measures so that those factors do not affect the product. These damages are mainly caused by the harvest operations, storage and transportation. To detect them is the hardest thing to do, regarding they are not visible at the very moment they take place.
