Abstract:Garlic has a worldwide economic importance; this vegetable can be consumed fresh or processed by food industries. However, few studies evaluate its postharvest quality. It is necessary to establish cultural practices and methods that focus not only on increase of yield, but on obtaining a product with better postharvest quality. The objective of this work was to evaluate the bulb quality of conventional garlic and virus-free garlic as a function of seed clove size and space between plants. Two experiments were… Show more
“…These results are consistent with those found in other studies (BIESDORF et al, 2015;MARODIN;SOUZA, 2018;LIMA et al, 2019), that showed larger bulb diameter for VFGC when compared to infected cultivars.…”

“…Differences in SS between cultivars may be caused by seed genetic characteristics and crop environment (LIMA et al, 2019). Mota et al (2003) found 34% and 37.16% SS in the infected cultivars Cateto-Roxo and Amarante, respectively, which are similar results to those obtained in the present work.…”

“…The garlic chemical composition and the its sensorial characteristics flavor and odor depend more on the genetic factor (cultivar) than on the crop conditions; however, they are also dependent on edaphoclimatic conditions of the environment in which the garlic plants will be grown and developed (LIMA et al, 2019).…”

“…Some studies evaluated the production and quality of garlic of the groups semi-nobre (SOARES, 2013;BESSA et al, 2017;LUCENA et al, 2016) and nobre (LOPES et al, 2016;HENRIQUES et al, 2019;SILVA, 2019) grown in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil; however, only one reported the quality of the garlic from virus-free seeds (cultivar Roxo Pérola do Caçador) in this region, evaluating clove-seed size and spacing between plants (LIMA et al, 2019).…”

“…In this case, the cultivar Branco-Mossoró stands out with higher TA (6.81 mEq H 3 O + 100 g -1 ). Lopes et al (2016) and Lima et al (2019) pointed out that variations in TA are related to environmental factors and cultivar genetic characteristics. Chagas, Resende and Pereira (2003) evaluated infected garlic cultivars (without clonal cleaning) in Lavras, MG, Brazil, and found TA of 0.71% for the cultivar Amarante.…”
Garlic is a vegetable rich in starch and in aromatic substances; it has high value as a spice and is consumed as a fresh vegetable or in processed products. The garlic market demand has been growing in the last years, and virus-free garlic seed is a technology that can result in better quality products. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of virus-free garlic cultivars (VFGC) grown under high altitude conditions in the Semiarid region of the Northeast of Brazil. Three experiments were conducted in 2018 in Portalegre, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil: the first experiment with first-generation VFGC (G1), the second with second-generation VFGC (G2), and the third with infected cultivars (without clonal cleaning). The experiments were conducted in randomized block experimental design, with four replications. The treatments consisted of five garlic cultivars (Amarante, Branco-Mossoró, Cateto-Roxo, Gravatá, and Hozan). The use of virus-free garlic seeds results in bulbs with larger diameter and higher soluble solid and total solid contents, pungency, and industrial yield, showing that the seed health is important for the quality of garlics for fresh consumption and industrial processing. The cultivars Amarante, Cateto -Roxo, and Hozan had the highest total solid contents; and the cultivar Hozan had the largest bulb diameter and the highest soluble solid contents, pungency, and industrial index. The cultivar Hozan is the most indicated for dehydration due to its higher industrial index. Bulb diameter, pungency, and industrial index presented positive correlations with soluble solids, pungency, and industrial index.
