Fremont - Iac 543: Tangerine With Potential for the Brazilian Market

Abstract

-Planting new types of tangerines is an interesting alternative for Brazilian citrus growers due to the increasing domestic market. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate a less exploited variety of tangerine, the Fremont. The physics and chemical quality of the fruit and juice (mass, peel color, juice yield, acidity, soluble solids and maturation index) was evaluated, followed by sensory testing for ranking of difference and preference to Nules clementine and Ponkan tangerine varieties. The Fremont tangerine produces fruits that meet the standards required by the Brazilian consumer market, with an appropriate mass for sale of the fresh fruit, a suitable juice yield, and early to mid-season maturation. Furthermore, et the preference, together with the Nules clementine, when compared to the Ponkan tangerine, wich is the main commercial variety in Brazil. Index terms: Citrus clementina x C. reticulata, fresh fruit, preference, physicochemical quality, ordering test. FREMONT -IAC 543 : TANGERINA COM POTENCIALPARA O MERCAdO BRASILEIRO RESUMO -Plantar novos tipos de tangerinas é uma alternativa interessante para os citricultores brasileiros, devido ao crescente mercado interno. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar uma nova variedade de tangerina, a Fremont. A qualidade física e química da fruta e do suco (massa, cor da casca, rendimento de suco, acidez, teor de sólidos solúveis e ratio) foi avaliada, seguido por testes sensoriais para ordenar a diferença e preferência em relação às variedades clementina Nules e tangerina Ponkan. A tangerina Fremont produz frutos que atendem aos padrões exigidos pelo mercado consumidor brasileiro, com massa apropriada para a venda como fruta fresca, rendimento de suco adequado, maturação precoce a meia-estação. Além disso, teve a preferência, junto com a clementina Nules, quando comparado com a tangerina Ponkan, a principal variedade comercial no Brasil. Termos de indexação:Citrus clementina x C. reticulata, fruta fesca, preferência , qualidade físico-química, teste de ordenção.1 (Paper 056-16).

Five Rootstocks for “Emperor” Mandarin Under Subtropical Climate in Southern Brazil

“…In this study, the number of seeds per fruit ranged from 12 up to 28 seeds per fruit, for those from trees on “Fepagro C-13” and “Cleopatra” respectively ( Table 3 ). The number of seeds per fruit found in our study is similar or even fewer than those reported in distinct mandarins and hybrids, including “Cravo,” “Nules,” and “Murcott” tangor ( Pio et al, 2005 ; Pacheco et al, 2017 ). Fruits from the trees on “Fepagro C-13” citrange showed the lowest number of seeds per fruit on most evaluations ( Table 3 ).…”

“…], grafted mostly on “Rangpur” lime ( C. limonia Osb. ), are the most extensively used combinations in Brazil, representing 80% of the total mandarin acreage ( Stuchi et al, 2008 ; Pacheco et al, 2017 ). Although preferred by the Brazilian consumers, the commercialization of “Ponkan” is restricted due to its short postharvest life ( Carvalho S. A. et al, 2019 ).…”

Evaluation of multiple rootstocks for ‘Montenegrina’ mandarin in Londrina, Paraná, Brazil

“…These findings agree with those observed by Tazima et al (2013Tazima et al ( , 2014 for fruit quality of 'Oktisu' satsuma mandarin grafted on nine rootstocks at two locations in the Northern region of Paraná, Brazil. These authors reported adequate FW in both experiments, similar to the study of Fallahi and Rodney (1992) on fruits of 'Fairchild' mandarin trees grafted on six rootstocks, and that of Pacheco et al (2017) on fruits of 'Fremont' mandarin trees grafted on 'Rangpur' lime.…”
