Summary

The results clearly revealed that both elastic and viscous properties of avocado mesocarp tissues were substantially altered during ripening, and that the solubility changes in acidic polysaccharides and decreases in the average MW of cell wall xyloglucan components were associated with significant changes in fruit texture.
