Características físicas, químicas e organolépticas de quipá (Tacinga inamoena, Cactaceae)

Abstract: RESUMO-A Opuntia ficus-indica tem-se destacado como principal produtora de frutos e forragens, motivo pelo qual tem sido bastante pesquisada. Além desta espécie, no semi-árido do Nordeste é encontrada a Tacinga inamoena, planta nativa, cujo fruto, embora também utilizado pelo agricultor como alternativa alimentar, não foi objeto de nenhuma pesquisa até o momento, justificando este trabalho para avaliar seu potencial nutricional e industrial, por meio das características organolépticas, químicas e físicas, cont… Show more

“…However, different amounts have been reported for other cacti: 3.23 mg/100 g for pulp and 21.5 mg/100 g for the pericarp of Opuntia elatior (Alvarez et al, 2008), and 0.92 mg/100 g for Opuntia boldinghii (García-Pantaleón et al, 2009), showing that the values reported herein for T. inamoena fruit are quite lower. Souza et al (2007) reported a content of 0.47 mg/100 g for the pulp and 3.37 mg/100 g for the pericarp of the same species studied herein. In addition to the attractive coloring, carotenoids have high antioxidant capacity with strong health promotion appeal (Cayupán et al, 2011).…”

“…Their physical, chemical and organoleptic characteristics are similar to those of Opuntia ficus-indica (Souza, Gamarra-Rojas, Andrade, & Guerra, 2007), species rich in vitamin C, calcium and magnesium, used in sweets, jellies, salads and ice cream (Van Wyk, 2005). For the mentioned similarities between T. inamoena and O. ficus-indica it is believed that the first can be used with the same purpose.…”

“…The mean pH value of the whole pulp was 5.59, which classifies it as a slightly acidic food, while the total titratable acidity of the pulp was, on average, 0.07% of citric acid, which is much lower than that reported by Souza et al (2007), 0.63%.…”
