For this purpose, several physicochemical parameters, such as fruit weight, percentage of pulp, seed and skin, proximate composition, minerals, total phenolic compounds (TP), total flavonoid compounds (TF), \u03b1-tocopherol, antioxidant capacity, and fatty acid profile were analyzed. The location of the orchards significantly influenced avocado weight; pulp and seed percentage; and fat, fiber, ash, \u03b1-tocopherol, TP, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, and oleic and palmitoleic acid contents. Buenavista (BU) avocados were the smallest (185 g) and presented the highest percentage of pulp (77.1%) and lowest percentage of fiber (5.43%). The highest levels of dry matter (33.8%) and fat (20.4%) were found in avocados harvested in Los Silos (SI) and Santiago del Teide (SA), respectively. Compared with those at the other locations, the avocados harvested in G\u00fc\u00edmar (GU) had high levels of \u03b1-tocopherol (52.2 \u00b5g g\u22121) and phenolic compounds (56.0 mg GAE 100 g\u22121). Avocados from Los Realejos (RE) had the highest percentage of oleic acid and the lowest percentage of palmitoleic acid. Numerous significant correlations were found between the variables studied, especially those between TP, TF, and antioxidant capacity (DPPH) and between fat percentage and dry matter.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/foods13071058","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,31]],"date-time":"2024-03-31T13:28:00Z","timestamp":1711891680000},"page":"1058","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["The Quality Evaluation of Avocado Fruits (Persea americana Mill.) of Hass Produced in Different Localities on the Island of Tenerife, Spain"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Clemente","family":"M\u00e9ndez Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Agricultura del Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, 38071 Tenerife, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alicja","family":"Grycz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Qu\u00edmica y Tecnolog\u00eda Farmac\u00e9utica, Universidad de La Laguna, 38296 Tenerife, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6232-2828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Domingo","family":"Rios Mesa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio de Agricultura del Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, 38071 Tenerife, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6934-1837","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beatriz","family":"Rodr\u00edguez Gald\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Qu\u00edmica y Tecnolog\u00eda Farmac\u00e9utica, Universidad de La Laguna, 38296 Tenerife, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3807-4593","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elena M.","family":"Rodr\u00edguez-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Qu\u00edmica y Tecnolog\u00eda Farmac\u00e9utica, Universidad de La Laguna, 38296 Tenerife, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5625","DOI":"10.1021\/jf1048832","article-title":"Avocado (Persea Americana Mill.)
