| dc.description | In Ecuador, specifically the Ecuadorian coast, there is great potential to produce citrus fruits to satisfy domestic consumption. Climate change has beneficial effects on citrus fruits, such as greater tolerance to high temperatures through increased transpiration, which can also increase the area of photosynthetic surface. The main objective of the research was to determine the impact of climate change on the post-harvest of citrus fruits. The document was prepared by compiling updated information from scientific articles and online libraries, focusing on a non-experimental design. The conclusions presented indicate that citrus fruits are especially marketed post-harvest, since their quality, durability, and marketing depend on climatic conditions. It is preferable to harvest in dry weather to maintain fruit quality, since humidity can promote the growth of molds and other harmful pathogens. Citrus postharvest causes physiological disorders such as fruit puffing, chilling lesions, skin degradation, and gray spots, all of which are favored by low temperatures and low humidity. Low temperatures can cause various types of damage in citrus postharvest due to the impact of climate change. These include alterations to the fruit cuticle, such as lesions and cracks in the epicuticular waxes. The physiological changes that citrus fruits can experience during storage affect their quality and durability due to their susceptibility to low temperatures, posing a major challenge to the preservation and marketing of these products. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | En Ecuador, específicamente el Litoral ecuatoriano, tiene gran potencial de producir cítricos para satisfacer el consumo interno. El cambio climático tiene efectos beneficiosos para los cítricos, como una mayor tolerancia a las altas temperaturas a través de una mayor transpiración, lo que también puede aumentar el área de área fotosintética. La investigación tuvo como objetivo principal determinar el impacto del cambio climático en la postcosecha de cítricos. La elaboración del documento se llevó a cabo mediante una recopilación de información actualizada de artículos científicos y bibliotecas virtuales, enfocándose en un diseño no experimental. Las conclusiones expuestas indican que el cítrico es una fruta especialmente comercializada en postcosecha, ya que su calidad, durabilidad y mercadeo dependen de las condiciones climáticas; es preferible cosechar en clima seco para mantener la calidad del fruto, debido a que la humedad puede favorecer la aparición de mohos y otros patógenos perjudiciales; la postcosecha de cítricos produce desórdenes fisiológicos, como el "bufado del fruto", lesiones frío, degradación de la piel y manchas grises, favorecidas por condiciones de baja temperatura y baja humedad; las bajas temperaturas, puede causar varios daños en la postcosecha de cítricos, debido al impacto del cambio climático. Estos incluyen alteraciones en la cutícula de las frutas, como lesiones y grietas en las ceras epicuticulares y los cambios fisiológicos que pueden experimentar los cítricos durante el almacenamiento afectan su calidad y durabilidad, debido a su susceptibilidad a las bajas temperaturas, siendo un gran desafío para la conservación y comercialización de estos productos. | es_ES |
