The pathogenic microorganisms linked to fresh fruits and juices sold out in retail low-cost markets raise safety concerns as they may carry multidrug-resistant (MDR) genes. To evaluate the microbiological quality and safety of highly consumed fruits and derivatives in Imbabura Province, Ecuador, ready-to-eat strawberries (5 independent batches; n = 300 samples), and gooseberries (5 separate batches; n = 500 samples), purchased from a local fruit farm grower and low-cost retail market, along with 20 different natural fruit- and vegetables-based juices (3 independent batches; n = 60 samples) purchased from food courts located within the low-cost markets were analyzed. Bacteriological analysis showed that the microbial quality was lower as several indicators (n = 984) consisting of total coliforms (TCOL), total aerobes (AEROB), Enterobacter spp. (ENT), Shigella spp., (SHIGA), yeasts (YE), and molds (M) were detected. Staphylococcus spp. (STAPHY) was found in both fruits regardless of origin, while Escherichia coli (EC) isolates were found in strawberries but not gooseberries. Salmonella spp. (SALM) were detected in juices only. Antibiotic susceptibility testing showed multidrug resistance of several isolates. The hemolytic pattern revealed that 88.89% of EC and 61.11% of ENT isolates were beta-hemolytic. All STAPHY isolates were beta-hemolytic while SALM and SHIGA were alpha-hemolytic. Plasmid curing assay of MDR isolates (ENT, EC, SALM, and STAPHY) showed that the antibiotic resistance (AR) was highly indicative of being plasmid-borne. These results raise concerns about the consumption of MDR bacteria. However, good agricultural and industrial practices, behavioral change communication, and awareness-raising programs are necessary for all stakeholders along the food production and consumption supply chain.

“…Data on the following variables were used to perform the PCA and identify hybrids whose fruits have potential uses for fresh consumption or industrial processing: cracking percentage (CP), which is the number of fruits showing this defect out of 50 randomly picked fruits; juice content (JC), which is the mean volume of juice extracted from 15 random fruits; total titratable acidity (TTA), measured with titration using 0.1 N NaOH and expressed as a percentage of citric acid; total soluble solids (TSS), determined using a refractometer and expressed as ºBrix; maturity index (MI), which is the relationship between TSS and TTA; respiration rate (RR), obtained with an GC-2028 CO 2 analyzer (Lutron Electronic Enterprise Co., Ltd., Taipei, Taiwan) by placing approximately 100 g of fruit without calyx in a tightly closed glass container with a sensor for 10 min to take readings, expressed in mg CO 2 kg -1 h -1 ; Ascorbic acid content (AA), determined with a Reflectoquant RQflex 20 reflectometer (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany), according to the manufacturer's instructions and expressed in mg/100 g juice; and fruit firmness, (F) measured using an FT 327 manual penetrometer (Facchini SRL, Alfonsine, Ravenna, Italy) with a 5 mm diameter tip that was introduced into the surface of ten fruits without epidermis transversely to the peduncular scar. These variables were evaluated and discussed in a previous study by Lagos-Burbano et al (2020).…”

“…In a previous study, the physicochemical properties of fruits from 36 cape gooseberry hybrids were evaluated, and the materials with the highest fruit quality were selected with a selection index (Lagos-Burbano et al, 2020). In the present study, six new descriptors were included, aiming to classify or group the hybrids using PCA and HC analysis for potential uses in transformation processes or fresh consumption based on physical, physicochemical, compositional, and physiological characteristics.…”

The cape gooseberry is the second most exported fruit in Colombia. There are, however, little information available on genetic improvement processes and limited research on the fruit components. The objective of this study was to characterize the fruits of 36 hybrids, obtained from double haploid cape gooseberry lines from the Tibaitatá Research Center of the Colombian Corporation for Agricultural Research. Hybrids with potential uses in transformation processes or for fresh consumption were identified using Hierarchical Cluster (HC) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with 20 physical, physicochemical, compositional, and physiological fruit descriptors, obtained from four trials in the Andean region of southern Colombia. According to the PCA, three components represented 73.6% of the total variability: postharvest (37.5%), sensory and nutritional quality (21.3%) and cracking percentage (14.8%). Six conglomerates were identified. Groups two, four, and six had aptitude for fresh consumption because of the size of the berry, high vitamin C content, maturity index and low cracking levels. Group one showed aptitude for processing and fresh consumption. Groups three and five registered a high seed content, low maturity rates, and a high cracking percentage.

“…Moreover, the plant is diuretic and the leaf juice has been used in the treatment of worms and bowel complaints (IVANOVA et al, 2019). These properties make the crop even more attractive, since the search for nutritious foods with medicinal properties has nowadays become a priority (LAGOS-BURBANO et al, 2021;BARROSO et al, 2022).…”

The breeding of Physalis peruviana is incipient in Brazil and is shown to be the most promising alternative for the development of productive genotypes with fruit quality. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the combining ability between inbred lines of P. peruviana, thus indicating the selection of hybrids with fruit quality. Therefore, four populations from different origins were selfed for three generations and crossed in controlled hybridizations, resulting in 28 P. peruviana populations. The hybrid in relation to the parent performance, based on the effects of general and specific combining ability, was compared in a full diallel mating design (Griffing Method 1). In the analysis of variance, the factor genotype was partitioned into the following causes of variation: i) parents and F1 hybrids, ii) selfed generations and iii) Genotype × environment (GE) interaction. There were significant differences between Parents and F1 hybrids for the trait fruit polar diameter. Still, the interaction between specific combining ability x environment and, reciprocal effect x environment, was significant. However, for the Xanxerê environment, there was a reduction of approximately 3.0 mm in the polar diameter of the fruit in the hybrid Colombia x Peru and a reduction of 4.5 mm for the reciprocal (Peru x Colombia). In the comparison of the selfed generations S0 with S1, the fruit weight of the Lages population decreased by 0.380 g. There was also a reduction of 974.5 kg.ha-1 in the fruit yield of the Peruvian population. Thus, the performance of the P. peruviana populations in hybrid combinations is unpromising, indicating the existence of only one P. peruviana gene pool, with a restricted genetic basis.
