Quality and tolerance in papaya fruits (Carica papaya L.) to the inoculation of the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz., in postharvest.

Tolerance to anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) was measured by evaluating quality in Cera type, cv. Maradol and cv. Sunset papaya fruit, inoculated or not, during postharvest storage at 18 plus or minus 3 deg C. Biochemical and/or biophysical variables were determined, and pathological lesion diameter was measured. It was found that the pathogen does not influence weight loss, firmness, malic acid, ascorbic acid, total soluble solids, or colour changes. However, it does affect the appearance of the fruits' peel and flesh. The cultivar most tolerant to C. gloeosporioides was cv. Maradol, which showed more firmness. The cultivar judged to have the highest quality was cv. Sunset, having a higher content of ascorbic acid and total soluble solids and better peel and flesh colour.
