description Avocado is a very wanted fruit worldwide for its consistency, exquisite taste, high nutritional value and its wide potential use not just for cooking, but also in cosmetic and pharmaceutical processes. Despite this, the technological advances developed in the productive chain of avocado, are nor spread and transferred in an effective way to producers and dealers. In the current article are collected and analyzed studies that have been reported in specialized literature, in the postharvest area. Topics as refrigerated storage, ethylene regulation, modified atmospheres and microorganisms control, were discussed being the most applied techniques to maintain the fresh quality of this fruit. In the avocado processing are shown some developed technological alternatives used for the conservation and utilization of pulp, oil and seed, also a description of the uses and perspectives that have these raw materials in the development of non traditional products.

El aguacate, es una fruta muy apetecida en el mercado mundial por su consistencia, exquisito sabor, alto valor nutritivo y amplias posibilidades de uso no solo en culinaria sino en procesos cosméticos y farmacéuticos. A pesar de esto, los avances tecnológicos que se producen en la cadena productiva del aguacate, no son divulgados y transferidos de una forma efectiva a los productores y comercializadores. En el presente artículo se recopilan y analizan investigaciones que han sido reportadas en fuentes bibliográficas especializadas, en el área de poscosecha se tratan los temas de almacenamiento refrigerado, regulación de etileno, atmósferas modificadas y control de microorganismos, que son las técnicas más utilizadas para mantener la calidad de esta fruta en fresco. En el procesamiento del aguacate se presentan las diversas alternativas tecnológicas que se han desarrollado para la conservación y aprovechamiento de la pulpa, aceite y semilla, igualmente una descripción de los usos y perspectivas que tienen estas materias primas en el desarrollo de productos no tradicionales.
