RESUMO -Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a conservação pós-colheita de guavira (Campomanesia adamantium Camb.) em diferentes revestimentos e temperaturas de armazenamento. Os frutos receberam os seguintes tratamentos: imersão em 1) carboxi metilcelulose a 1% (m/v) (CMC); 2) pectina a 3%; 3) pectina + cloreto de cálcio a 3% (m/v), e 4) sem tratamento (ST), todos embalados em polietileno de baixa densidade (PEBD) e armazenados por 0; 7; 14 e 21 dias em câmara B.O.D., nas temperaturas de 5; 10 e 15 ºC. A menor perda de massa e acidez titulável foram observadas a 5 ºC e na cobertura pectina + cálcio. O pH não variou entre as coberturas e manteve-se maior a 5 ºC. O teor de vitamina C foi maior sob efeito do revestimento de pectina + cálcio, com valores semelhantes aos iniciais a 5 °C e 10 ºC. Concluiu-se que as guaviras podem ser armazenadas por até 21 dias em temperatura de 5 ºC, revestidas com pectina + cálcio a 3%. Termos para indexação: Myrtaceae, carboximetilcelulose, pectina, atmosfera modificada. POSTHARVEST CONSERVATION OF guavira (Campomanesia adamantium Camb.) UNDER DIFFERENT COATING AND TEMPERATURES OF STORAGEABSTRACT -The objective of this study was to evaluate the post-harvest conservation of guavira (Campomanesia adamantium Camb.) in different coatings and temperatures. The fruit received the following treatments: immersion in 1) 1% carboxy methylcellulose (w /v) (CMC) 2) 3% pectin, 3) pectin + 3% calcium chloride (w / v) and 4) no treatment (ST) all packaged in low density polyethylene (LDPE) and stored for 0, 7, 14 and 21 days in B.O.D. at temperatures of 5, 10 and 15 °C. The lowest weight loss and titratable acidity were observed at 5°C and the coated with pectin + calcium. The pH did not vary between the coatings and kept higher than 5 °C. The vitamin C content was higher under the influence of the coating of pectin + calcium with initial values similar to the 5 and 10 ºC. It was concluded that the guaviras can be stored for up to 21 days at 5 °C, coated with pectin + 3% calcium.
-This article aims at evaluating the effects of different packaging and varied storage temperatures on the germination potential of seeds of Campomanesia adamantium Camb. O. Berg. The seeds were packaged in glass, aluminum foil and plastic containers, or maintained inside intact fruits at 5, 10 and 15 ºC during 0, 7, 14 and 21 days. After these periods the seeds were sown in Germitest® germination paper and maintained in incubation chambers at 25 ºC under constant white light for 42 days. Seed moisture contents were evaluated both before and after storage, as well as germination percentages, germination speed index, root and aerial portion of seedlings lengths, and total dry weights. All possible combinations of packing materials, temperatures and storage times were tested, with four repetitions of 25 seeds for each treatment. C. adamantium seeds showed initial water contents of 31.5%. Glass and aluminum packaging were efficient at maintaining the water content of the seeds, and provided greater germination speed index than the other packaging materials. Germination percentages, seedlings lengths and dry weights did not vary among the different temperatures tested. C. adamantium seeds can be stored for up to 21 days at temperatures between 5 and 15 ºC without altering their physiological quality. In terms of cost-benefit efficiencies, these seeds can be stored without significant damage for 21 days while still inside the fruits at temperatures of 5, 10 or 15 ºC. Index terms: guavira; Brazilian savannah; native fruit; Myrtaceae; seed longevity. CONSERVAÇÃO DE SEMENTES DE Campomanesia adamantium (CAMB.) O. BERG EM DIFERENTES EMBALAGENS E TEMPERATURAS
