CARACTERIZAÇÃO FÍSICO-QUÍMICA E ENZIMÁTICA DE FRUTOS DE PITAIA (Hylocereus undatus)

Abstract: Os frutos de pitaia apresentam grande importância nutricional e economicamente vem se estabelecendo em diversos países, como o Brasil. Apesar do grande potencial comercial da pitaia, ainda são escassos os estudos de caracterização físico-química, compostos bioativos e de atividade antioxidante e enzimática dos seus frutos, principalmente considerando a espécie Hylocereus undatus. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se analisar as características físico-químicas, compostos bioativos, atividade antioxidante e enzimática d… Show more

“…O cladódio (ramos de caule modificado com presença de clorofila) tem sido utilizado como cicatrizante e a semente como laxante natural (Junqueira, et al, 2002). Além disso, os frutos apresentam alto valor nutricional e atividade antioxidante na polpa e na casca (Mello, 2014;Santos, et al, 2016).…”

Pitayas have low levels of lipids. Results published in fruits produced in Brazil showed levels ranging from 0.3 g-¹ 100 g-¹ to 0.47 g 100 g-¹, for H. undatus and H. polyrhizus (Abreu et al, 2012, Santos et al, 2016 and rich in fibers with values ranging from 2.14 mg 100 g-¹, in pitayas produced by H. undatus and from 3.26 mg 100 g¹ to 11.35g 100 g-¹, in fruits of the species H. polyrhizus (Cordeiro et al, 2015).As for ash contents, results published in the characterization carried out in pitayas produced in Brazil report values from 0.33 g 100 g-¹ to 0.75 g 100 g-¹ in the fruit pulp of H. undatus Pitaya stands out in the market for presenting exotic appearance species, high water content, vitamins and minerals, low calories, and bioactive compounds that makes it attractive for consumption However, the composition of this fruit may change according from the place of cultivation, orchard management and harvesting season. Regarding orchards management, variations have been observed in the fact that the pitaya species are considered rustic, able of tolerating adverse conditions of low availability of water and nutrients, and mainly because lack information on fertilization.
