The exocarp consists of cuticle, epidermal, parenchyma and sclerenchyma or stone cells limiting the inner surface of the peel, while the mesocarp is composed of large iso-diametric lipid-containing parenchyma cells and is permeated by the vascular system (Valmayor, 1967 Biale and Young, 1971). The avocado fruit is classified botanically as a berry comprising the seed and the pericarp, which is separated into (a) rind or exocarp, (b) flesh or mesocarp, and (c) the thin layer next to the seed coat, the endocarp. The avocado tree ( Persea americana Mill.) belongs to the family Lauraceae. The fruit is rich in unsaturated fats and vitamins and the flesh has more energy value than meat of equal weight. The avocado fruit has been a major food for the people of Central America for, apparently, several thousand years (Bergh, 1976). ![]()
