The objective of this work was to estimate the genetic parameters, correlations, and selection gains for the oil production of interspecific hybrids progenies between American oil palm, of ‘Manicoré’ origin, and oil palm, of ‘La Mé’ origin. Thirty-nine progenies were evaluated from the sixth to the ninth year after planting, for the productivity of fresh fruit bunches (PROD_FFB), oil content in the bunch (OCB), and palm oil productivity (PROD_OP). The genetic parameters and gains from direct (GDS) and indirect (GIS) selection were estimated for PROD_OP. High values of heritability for the CVg/CVe ratio indicated favorable conditions for the selection. With the selection of 20% of the progenies (selection in both sexes), the following estimates were obtained: 11.15% GDS for PROD_OP, 9.1% GIS for OCB, and 8.1% GIS for PROD_FFB. The PROD_OP of the progenies was of 6,175, 6,057, and 5,995 kg ha-1 per year with GDS and GIS for OCB and PROD_FFB, respectively. The restricted selection of the LM2T male genitor offspring resulted in 5.1% estimated GSD and in a mean of 5,800 kg ha-1 per year for PROD_OP. Selection gains for PROD_OP can be achieved immediately through the selection restricted to oil palm male genitors, and, in the medium and long term, through the interspecific reciprocal recurrent selection between American oil palm and oil palm populations.
Buffalo milk has a high nutritional value, with high fat, protein, and mineral levels. Its derivatives yield exceeds by 40% those derived from bovine milk. As a way to take advantage of this quality, Greek yogurt (Labneh) is an alternative to add value to this important product. Thus, this work aims to prepare Greek yogurt with buffalo milk, added with açaí jelly (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), to carry out physical-chemical, microbiological, sensory, and texture profile analyzes in buffalo milk, Greek yogurt, and in açaí jelly. Natural Greek yogurt had an acceptability index of 90.11% and Greek yogurt with açaí jelly, 93.11%, which constitutes an alternative for regional raw material valorization, with excellent acceptability, high nutritional value, and outstanding physical-chemical and microbiological quality. Thus, this derivative is indicated for special programs supported by the City Halls and/or Government of Pará state, as a way of generating income and employment for communities producing buffalo milk and açaí.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
