“…klotzschiana fruits may be considered very acidic, since the TA content varied between 1.27 and 1.88 % of citric acid. Even ripe fruits have substantial TA levels (1.27 % of citric acid), being consistent with the findings of Carneiro et al (2019). Similarly, the pH values were very low due to the high organic acid content.…”

“…Morgado et al (2010) reported fresh weight losses of 8.5 % in guava, and values of 8.0 % were found for avocado (Vieites et al 2012) and 7.0 % for mango (Cordeiro et al 2014). This characteristic may have led Carneiro et al (2019) to report that E. klotzschiana fruits have an excellent post-harvest shelf life, as the losses caused by the evaporation may compromise the fruit visual appearance, texture and juiciness (Ribeiro & Freitas 2020). The trichomes existing on the peel of the fruit may have acted to prevent these losses.…”

Pera-do-cerrado (Eugenia klotzschiana O. Berg) has a good appearance and adequate post-harvest shelf life. However, little information is available regarding its maturity stages. This study aimed at characterizing E. klotzschiana fruits harvested at three maturity stages (immature, physiological mature and ripe), in addition to evaluating the physical and chemical changes during storage at ambient temperature (24 ± 2 ºC and 75 % ± 5 % of RH) for up to 5 days. The ripe fruits had a higher fresh mass (98.03 g), width (5.61 cm) and ratio (5.37), and lower titratable acidity (1.27 %). In contrast, immature fruits showed a greener peel (101.32 ºh) and higher vitamin C content (11.23 mg 100 g-1). There was an increase in the fresh weight loss (3.05 %) and a decrease in the peel luminosity (67.09-57.12 L*) and vitamin C content (8.11-5.04 mg 100 g-1). However, the soluble solids (SS) values did not change during the 5 days of storage. A reduction in the titratable acidity (TA; 1.29-1.06 %) was also observed, which resulted in a higher ratio (3.81-5.84). In conclusion, E. klotzschiana fruits should be harvested ripe, as they present larger dimensions, better color, higher SS/TA (flavor) and are less acidic.

“…According to Mariano et al (2020) 70% of the bioactive compounds identified in the pulp of the Cerrado pear were flavonoids, such a finding may stimulate the incorporation of this fruit into the human diet to improve nutrient intake and provide the sustainable use of the native flora of the Cerrado. Other chemical characteristics of pears are high moisture, dietary fiber and iron (CARNEIRO et al, 2019;MARIANO et al, 2022).…”

The objective of this article is to present the importance of the Cerrado in the ecological and social cohesion of the country, as it is the second largest biome in Brazil and covers approximately 23% of the country. Its magnitude is so great that it makes it the second largest floristic group in the country. Brazil is a country of extraordinary biodiversity, with a wide variety of organisms present in all biomes, especially the Cerrado, which has been devastated by human actions. The Brazilian Savannah is one of the most strategically important regions in the world, mainly for agriculture, crop irrigation, mining, power generation, and the supply of people and animals. Rich in its biodiversity, it provides several essential ecosystem resources to the planet. The destruction of the Cerrado can lead to the loss of species and ecosystem services, negatively impacting the planet. It is extremely important that measures are taken for the preservation of this biome. The protection and preservation of this valuable biome is in line with some of the Sustainable Development Goals. Goal 2 - Zero Hunger and Sustainable Agriculture, is based on the principle of eradicating hunger, achieving food security and better nutrition through the promotion of sustainable agriculture. The proposal is that this goal can be achieved by 2030. Based on the numerous scientific records that prove the nutritional potential of the fruits of the Cerrado, enabling better nutrition for its consumers, it is necessary to encourage the sustainable cultivation and consumption of its fruits, perpetuation of the native trees of the Cerrado that provide not only nutritional benefits, but environmental, social and economic benefits.

“…Conforme Xavier Mariano et al (2020), 70% dos compostos bioativos identificados na polpa da pera do cerrado eram flavonoides, tal achado pode estimular a incorporação desse fruto na alimentação humana para melhorar a ingestão de nutrientes e proporcionar o uso sustentável da flora nativa do Cerrado. Outras características químicas da pera são alta umidade, de fibras alimentares e ferro (Carneiro et al, 2019;.…”

O Cerrado Brasileiro é um dos principais biomas do país, compreendendo vasta variedade de espécies vegetais, das quais, muitas delas, ainda são pouco exploradas cientificamente. Esta obra teve por objetivo explanar, de forma clara e concisa, as inúmeras possibilidades e aplicabilidades das árvores, plantas e/ou frutos do cerrado para utilização e agregação de valor a este bioma tão rico. Algumas das espécies que o leitor encontrará neste livro são Ipê, jabuticaba, algodãozinho, pequi, baru, cagaita e mirtilo, e assuntos como a interferência climática, utilização de madeira, diferentes biocompostos/fitoquímicos presentes nestes frutos, assim como a utilização dessas diversas espécies para desenvolvimento de novos produtos, quer seja de cunho alimentícios ou cosméticos, foram abordados. Agradecemos aos autores pelo empenho, disponibilidade e dedicação para o desenvolvimento e conclusão dessa obra. Esperamos, também, que esta obra sirva de instrumento didático-pedagógico para estudantes, professores dos diversos níveis de ensino em seus trabalhos e demais interessados pela temática.
