“…The range from 38.58% (Acer-11) to 61.21% (Acer-13) is close to the 47.8-58.9% range presented by Gomes et al [2] and the 40.83-65.63% obtained by Semensato and Pereira [12]; lower than the 59-75% range shown by Aróstequi and Pennock [15] and higher than the 30% average reported by Lopes et al [1]. However, the Acer-13, Acer-16, Acer-15, Acer-12 and Acer-8 genotypes did not significantly differ from each other.…”

“…The Acer-11 genotype presented the smallest fruits (1.99 cm in length and 1.73 cm in width) and Acer-13 the largest fruits (2.70 cm in length and 2.32 cm in width). Length values, in general, are above the 1.62-2.07 cm range reported by Semensato and Pereira [12] but compatible with the UFRPE-7 mother plant, with a 2.3 cm average [14]. All genotypes presented fruit length above the minimum (1.5 cm) demanded by the industry [13].…”

“…The lowest fruit weight observed (4.24 g for Acer-11) is above the 3.52 g registered by Semensato and Pereira [12] but below the (7.81 and 6.59) g averages, respectively, for the UFRPE-7 and UFRPE-8 mother plants [6]. In spite of relevant differences, all the genotypes studied presented weight values above the limit of 4 g required by the industry [13].…”

“…The measurement of soluble solids showed that fruits from Acer-10 had the highest percentage (7.75 °Brix), though not statistically different from Acer-9, Acer-14, Acer-3 and Acer-6, while Acer-12 presented the lowest result: 5.25 °Brix (table II) Semensato and Pereira [12] and to the 6.0-11.59°Brix registered by Matsuura et al [17], but they are below the 9.2°Brix reported by Vendramini and Trugo [18]. The Acer-14 genotype presented the lowest titratable acidity, while Acer-13 and Acer-7 had similar and the highest titratable acidity, 1.15% and 1.05%, respectively (table II).…”

“…Acer-12, Acer-8, Acer-7 and Acer-13 showed the lowest ratio with no statistical difference and Acer-14 the highest one (table II). The literature reports results such as 4.24-11.59 [17] and 0.32-0.95 [12]. This rate is a function of the equilibrium degree between sugars and organic acids in fruits.…”

Preliminary selection of acerola genotypes in Brazil.Abstract --Introduction. Breeding studies for acerola (Malpighia glabra) improvement aim at obtaining plants that produce fruits with uniform chemical and physical attributes, including high levels of vitamin C, which can provision the market with fresh fruit and frozen pulp. High variability in fruit quality is observed in Brazilian acerola crops, especially those propagated by seeds. In this context, the objective of our research was to evaluate the physical and chemical characteristics of Brazilian acerola genotype fruits. Materials and methods. Sixteen acerola genotypes were studied in Jaboticabal, São Paulo State, Brazil. A completely randomized design with sixteen treatments and six replications was adopted. Each treatment was represented by one genotype. Several parameters related to fruit quality, such as width, length, weight, pulp percentage, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), [SS / TA] ratio and vitamin C content, were evaluated in fruits of the acerola genotypes. The results were submitted to variance analyses, the Tukey test and cluster analysis. Results and discussion. There was a statistical difference between the acerola genotypes studied. Three of them stood out as natural sources of vitamin C. In spite of fruit size, two acerola genotypes were found to have potential for fresh fruit production. In a general form, genotypes that presented a high [SS / TA] ratio had low vitamin C content. Conclusion. The acerola genotypes studied in Jaboticabal presented high variability, forming eleven groups in relation to fruit quality parameters.

Multivariate selection index of acerola genotypes for fresh consumption based on fruit physicochemical attributes

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Acerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.) is one of the most important fruit produced in the São Francisco Valley, a Semi-arid region in the Northeast of Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical quality of thirty-ve acerola genotypes produced during two growing seasons in a Semi-arid region and to identify the best ones with potential for fresh consumption based on a multivariate selection index. Fruit of each genotype were harvested during two growing seasons at the maturity stage red-ripe, characterized by full red skin color. After harvest, the fruit were evaluated for diameter, mass, esh rmness, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), SS/TA ratio, ascorbic acid content and skin color. A multivariate selection index (SI) was applied for scoring and ranking the genotypes for fresh consumption based on red-ripe fruit physicochemical quality. According to the results, all physicochemical attributes had high variability among genotypes. The SI was a powerful tool for identifying genotypes with high potential for fresh consumption, since it allowed selecting genotypes with multiple desirable traits. In the rst and second growing seasons, the SI identi ed the genotypes PROG 052 (SI = 76.1 and 78.9), BRS Rubra (SI = 74.1 and 99.5), Cabocla (SI = 72.3 and 70.7), Costa Rica (SI = 61.2 and 73.8) and PROG 069 (SI = 68.1 and 72.4) as the most promising ones for fresh consumption due to the presence of multiple desirable traits such as high diameter, mass, esh rmness, SS, and SS/AT ratio, as well as lower acidity. IntroductionAcerola (Malpighia emarginata DC.) is a tropical super-fruit due to its high vitamin C content that exceeds 100 times the contents observed in oranges and lemons (Prakash and Baskaran, 2018). The worldwide cultivation of acerola takes place from South Texas, Mexico, Central America and Northern regions in the South America, as well as some regions of Southeast Asia, specially India (Assis et al., 2008;Hanamura et al., 2008). Currently, Brazil is the largest producer of acerola, with several cultivation areas in the Northeastern region, where the environmental conditions enable three to four harvests per year (Alves et al., 1999).The production of acerolas in Brazil is intended for the fresh fruit market and/or processing industry. Genotypes intended for fresh consumption are characterized by larger and rmer fruit, with higher soluble solids content and lower levels of organic acids, which guarantees the sweetness desired by consumers (Hoehn et al., 2005). On the other hand, genotypes intended for the processing industry must have higher levels of ascorbic acid, which is one of the main forms of processed products. Acerola can also be marketed as frozen pulp, concentrate, juice, ice cream, gelatin, soft drinks, nectar, jelly, gum, preserve, yogurts and sodas (Delva and Schneider, 2013;Mezadri et al., 2006).The quality of each acerola genotype is highly dependent on environmental conditions such as temperature, precipitation and sunlight, as well as on crop management practices such as ir...

This study evaluated the stability of strawberry pulp subjected to three factors, pasteurisation (pasteurised and unpasteurised), freezing method (static air and forced air) and storage time (0, 2, 4 and 6 months). Pasteurisation favoured vitamin C retention during storage but enhanced the total loss of phenolics without affecting anthocyanin levels. Freezing by forced air was more effective in retaining phenolics during the first 4 months of storage, although the freezing method did not affect the anthocyanin levels. Processing and storage reduced the levels of individual phenolics. Freezing by forced air was more effective than static air in retaining antioxidant activity of the pulp. Polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase enzyme levels were relatively stable and independent of pasteurisation, freezing and storage time. Even after 6 months of frozen storage, strawberry pulp is a significant source of nutrients and bioactive compounds and retains high antioxidant capacity independent of pasteurisation and freezing method.
