Abstract

Avocado (Persea americana) has a high nutritional content but has perishable properties. The fruit ripening process lasts 5 to 7 days at 25℃. The problem is that 30% of avocados are still damaged and lost after harvest. Product losses or damage is caused by improper postharvest handling and inadequate technology. This review journal aims to provide knowledge about the postharvest handling of avocados and the process of preserving avocados so that they can maintain quality and extend shelf life in Indonesia. Postharvest handling of avocados is essential to maintain their quality and extend their shelf life. Postharvest handling of avocados starts with cleaning, sorting, storing, packaging, and transporting. Avocados are also preserved with edible coating for storage at room temperature, cold shock treatment, and low-temperature storage to extend the shelf life during the storage before the avocado ripens. Based on the review, it was found that preservation using edible coating was the longest for 28 days using the raw material of moringa leaf extract 2 and 1% CMC, with the immersion method for 1 min. Meanwhile, the cold shock treatment's most extended storage for avocados is 8 to 10 days. The low-temperature storage of avocados can maintain avocado quality for up to 10 days.
