“…Acerola should be harvested when it is intensely red in color, yet still firm in consistency, in order to avoid losses during transport and handling. If the fruit is not frozen, it should be consumed as soon as possible because, after 24 hours, the fruit considerably loses its characteristics of freshness and quality (Corrêa et al, 2017).…”

“…The literature includes numerous scientific publications regarding the effects of different types of industrial processing on the physicochemical, nutritional and sensory characteristics of acerola (Chaves et al, 2004;Maia et al, 2007;Caetano;Daiuto;Vieites, 2012;Corrêa et al, 2017;Nascimento et al, 2018). However, there is currently a lack of information on the effects of the preparation and domestic storage of fruit juices, especially that of acerola.…”

Acerola is a tropical fruit that stands out for its high content of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds. However, there is currently a lack of information on the effects of the preparation and domestic storage of fruit juices, especially that of acerola. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different liquefying times (10, 30 and 50 s) and cold storage at 4 °C for 0, 24, 48 and 72 h in domestic acerola juice. In relation to such, physicochemical determinations were performed, including pH, total titratable acidity, antioxidant potential, contents of phenolic compounds and total flavonoids in juices produced from the whole fruit, the pulp and acerola seed extracts. Whole fruit juice, liquefied for 10 s, had the highest pH and lowest acidity averages (P≤0.05). The contents of phenolic and flavonoid compounds ranged from 26.06±1.18 to 168.34±24.63 mg of gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 mL and 11.17±0.96 to 49.45±1.43 mg of catechin equivalents (CE)/100 mL, respectively. Total phenolics were higher in whole acerola juices and total flavonoids in seed extracts, both when liquefied for 50 s. The antioxidant potential ranged from 0.12±0.01 to 4.26±0.78 mmol of Trolox equivalents (TE)/100 mL, and was also higher in whole acerola juice, liquefied for 50 s (P≤0.05). The results showed that acerola pulp has higher phenolic content and antioxidant potential, while seeds have more flavonoids. The liquefying time of the whole fruit for 50 s and consumption during the first 24 h, were the best conditions tested in this study, for obtaining a juice with a high content of phenolic and antioxidant activity.

“…Barbados cherry (Acerola cherry) (Malpighia emarginata D.C.) is a tropical plant (CORRÊA et al, 2017) originating from Central America, although it has spread to the South America due to its adaptability (SILVA; DUARTE; BARROZO, 2016). In Brazil, the plant is widely cultivated, with planted area of approximately 7,200 ha and an average yield of 150,000 tons of fruits/year, being the Northeast region the largest in planted area (3,100 ha) and productivity (96,000 tonnes), with the fruits intended for pulp extraction or natural consumption (CALGARO; BRAGA, 2012).…”

ARBUSCULAR MYCORRHIZAL FUNGI IN SEEDLING FORMATION OF BARBADOS CHERRY (Malpighia emarginata D.C.)

The use of beneficial microorganisms such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) may favor both the growth phase and the stabilization of the seedlings after transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inoculation of different AMF species on the development of Barbados cherry seedlings from herbaceous and semi-hardwood cuttings. Softwood and semi-hardwood cuttings, previously rooted, were planted in 500 ml tubes filled with Plantmax® substrate and inoculated with three species of mycorrhizal fungi (Gigaspora margarita -Gimarg, Claroideoglomus etunicatum -Claetun and Glomus clarum -Glclar) isolated and combined (Gimarg + Claetun, Gimarg + Glclar, Claetun + Glclar and Gimarg + Claetun + Glclar). The statistical design was completely randomized in factorial scheme 2 x 8 (two types of cuttings and eight types of inoculation, including control without AMF inoculation) with ten replications. The seedlings were kept in a greenhouse for 100 days and height was measured every 15 days to determine the absolute and relative growth rate (AGR and RGR). At the end of the experiment the seedlings were sacrificed and determined height, fresh and dry shoot mass and root and mycorrhizal colonization rate. The results indicate potential for production of Malpighia emarginata D.C. seedlings inoculated with AMF with tendency to reduce the time for transplanting. The Gimarg + Claetun combination promoted higher rates of absolute growth and height of seedlings from herbaceous cuttings. The species Glomus clarum, isolated or associated with C. etunicatum, promoted higher colonization rates in herbaceous and semi-hardwood seedlings, respectively.

“…Conclui-se que os Norte da América do Sul. A aceroleira foi introduzida em várias regiões do mundo em função dos elevados teores de vitamina C, outros nutrientes como a vitamina A e vitaminas do complexo B (CUNHANETO, 2009;CORRÊA et al, 2017).A laranja (Citrus sinensis) é uma das principais frutas de grande importância para o agronegócio brasileiro, trata-se de uma planta que se adapta facilmente às condições variadas de solo e clima, e produz praticamente o ano todo(OSORIO et al., 2017). E em virtude do grande consumo e do seu baixo custo, o Brasil tornou-se o maior produtor de suco de laranja, e é responsável por 60% da produção mundial…”
