Postharvest changes and respiratory pattern of bacuri fruit (Platonia insignis Mart.) at different maturity stages during ambient storage

Abstract: Bacuri (Platonia insignis, Mart.) is one of the most important among Amazonian fruits. However, little is known about its postharvest physiology, such as maturity stages, changes during ambient storage, and respiratory pattern. Fruits were harvested at three maturity stages based on epicarp colour: dark green, light green, and turning (50% yellow), in order to determine colour modification and respiratory pattern during ambient storage (25.2 0 C, 75.1 % RH). Fruit of all maturity stages showed, after three day… Show more

“…The chemical composition of the reserve material contained in the seeds is of interest because the seeds not only represent a nutritional resource but also may be useful in the manufacture of industrial products (BUCKERIDGE et al, 2010). The histochemical results of this study, although qualitative, are consistent with the findings of Campana, Mourão and Marzinek (2010) in Clusia lanceolata Cambess: the lipid content of the seeds of C. lanceolata was found to be greater than the content higher content of stored energy.…”

“…É perenifólia (que tem folhas durante o ano inteiro), heliófila (planta que precisa de muita luz solar) e seletiva higrófila (prefere umidade), característica da vegetação aberta de transição nas áreas descampadas, sendo rara nas florestas primárias densas (LORENZI, 1992). De acordo com Teixeira et al (2005), o bacuri é um fruto não-climatérico, ou seja, só amadurece enquanto estiver ligado à planta. Após a colheita, os frutos não melhoram suas características sensoriais e nutricionais, embora um leve amolecimento e perda da coloração verde possam ocorrer.…”

“…After 20 days of storage, no fruit had a score of 0 or 1, and more than 50% of the fruit had scores of 3 (large number of dark spots and severe wrinkling) or 4 (fruit severely wrinkled and entire surface covered with dark spots). Teixeira et al (2005) observed that in bacuri (Platonia insignis), a fruit related to achachairú, fruit shrinkage resulting in wrinkling was the most important factor impacting appearance although they also indicated that dark spots play a role. A weight loss of 5% is enough to cause shrinkage in fruits and vegetables, and this shrinkage affects quality (Pantastico et al, 1979).…”
