The aim of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical changes and antioxidant potential caja-manga (Spondias mombin L.) fruit during its physiological development. cycle comprised a period 260 days after anthesis (DAA), set when fruits were yellow-orange colored easily detached from pads. results showed that had simple sigmoid type growth pattern, with significant increase in mass, longitudinal transverse diameters up 220 DAA. A decrease total pectins an soluble pectins, lower acidity chlorophyll levels, masking carotenoids exposure observed, leading color softening fruit. Significant observed 200 DAA, which may be has reached maturity, emphasizing phenolic, vitamin C activity.
