Mucilage extraction in seeds ofG. americanaL. with a view to physiological potential

Abstract: RESUMO -Frutífera pertencente à família Rubiaceae, o jenipapo (Genipa americana L.) apresenta ampla distribuição em regiões tropicais úmidas e subtropicais da América Latina. Suas sementes apresentam densa mucilagem aderida, a qual pode prejudicar a germinação favorecendo ao desenvolvimento de microrganismos, requerendo desta forma, operações para a sua eliminação. Diante do exposto, objetivou-se avaliar o potencial fisiológico em lotes de sementes de jenipapo sob diferentes métodos de extração da mucilagem. F… Show more

“…Because of the high sugar content in the pulp, senescent fruits tend to undergo the natural fermentation process, which is a method most commonly used to remove mucilage during the seed extraction process (Bezerra et al, 2015). However, several studies have shown that if the natural fermentation time is prolonged, biochemical transformations that alter the chemical composition of seeds can occur, in turn, reducing their quality and affecting the germination percentage, in addition to increasing seedling abnormalities (Pereira and Dias, 2000;Lima et al, 2009).…”
