“…Alrededor del mundo se cultiva un número creciente de variedades de papaya; los diferentes cultivares exhiben una morfología reproductiva diversa y muchos se han cultivado a partir de variedades que abundan en diferentes regiones del mundo. Los cultivares más conocidos son: a) los de fruta en forma de pera, piel de color amarillo verdoso y sabor dulce, y b) los que presentan pulpa de color rojo anaranjado, alto contenido de azúcar y sabor deseable (Nafiu et al, 2019). En las plantaciones comerciales de papaya, la densidad poblacional es de 1.500 y 2.500 plantas por hectárea y el rendimiento es de 50-136 t/ha/año (Cruz & Portal, Yadira Beatriz, Vargas Tierras; et al Comparación de características de calidad de fruta en genotipos de papaya Cienc.…”

In the northern region of the Ecuadorian Amazon, there are papaya genotypes with acceptable production and fruit quality traits; however, they are heterogeneous. The aim of this research was to evaluate papaya genotypes for the selection of individuals through fruit quality traits. The study was carried out at the Central Amazon Experimental Station of Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, located in the canton La Joya de los Sachas, Orellana Province. A completely randomized design with a different number of observations according to the number of individuals per genotype was used. The recorded variables were: fruit weight (kg), pulp weight (kg), peel weight (kg), fruit diameter (cm), fruit length (cm), pulp thickness (cm), fruit firmness (kg-f), pH, total soluble solids (°Bx), titratable acidity, and flavor ratio. Data were subjected to one-way analysis of variance, mean comparison tests (Tukey 95%) for dendrograms, correlation matrix, and Biplot graphs. Results showed individuals with high production (more than 50 fruits/plant) and fruits with market demanded traits for fresh consumption (fruit weight between 0.2 and ≥ 2.0 kg, and soluble solids content ≥ 11.5 °Bx). In addition, ten elite individuals were identified as they meet the dual production and fruit quality traits, and must be considered for future breeding programmes.

“…Almost all parts of the plant are used for either food, beauty or health products. Papaya has been cultivated for its edible fruits for hundreds of years but it is now also used for the production of jams, preserves, soft drinks, ice-cream, cocktail, crystallized fruit and canned in syrup (Ezike, Akah, Okoli, Ezeuchenne, & Ezeugwu, 2009;Nafiu et al, 2019;Villegas, 1997;Workneh, Azene, & Tesfay, 2012). The fruits are widely used as a treatment of paediatric burns in Africa (Starley, Mohammed, Schneider, & Bickler, 1999).…”

Exploring the nutritional potential of Carica papaya Linn cultivars

Carica papaya, commonly known as papaya or paw paw, is widely cultivated for its sweet, ripe edible fruits. However, papaya is also known for its health uses in some non-western cultures where green fruits and leaves are also eaten cooked as well as raw. This research project has looked at phytochemicals (carotenoids (provitamin A active compounds), polyphenols, ascorbic acid, and vitamin E) and antioxidant capacity (ORAC assay and total phenolic content) of fruit pulp, fruit peel and leaves from commercially available Australian papaya cultivars. Analysis was undertaken at different stages of fruit ripeness and leaf growth to understand the impact on nutritional quality and potential health properties. In addition, the release/bioaccessibility of the main phytochemicals was assessed as an initial measure to predict their potential bioavailability using an in vitro digestion procedure. Among cultivars, red fleshed papaya fruits exhibited the highest phytochemical values. Mid mature and/or fully ripen fruits gave the highest antioxidant capacities as well as ascorbic acid and carotenoid content. Ascorbic acid content ranged from 37.0-58.5 mg/100 g FW with large variations between cultivars and an increase as the fruits ripen. Major carotenoids found in red-fleshed papaya were β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin, and lycopene with lycopene representing 42-58% of the total carotenoids. However, lycopene was undetectable in the yellow-fleshed cultivar. Leaves were found to exhibit the highest ORAC and total phenolic content (young and mature; ORAC: 93-185 µM trolox equivalents/g FW; total phenolic content: 148-210 mg gallic acid equivalents/100g FW) compared to the peels and pulps. Overall, the highest antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid and polyphenols could be found in papaya leaves followed by peels and pulp. Vitamin E was below the limit of quantification in all samples. Cooking of the leaves and unripe fruit resulted in a significant reduction of ascorbic acid and antioxidant capacity.In addition, in vitro digestion clearly demonstrated that the major papaya phytochemicals are bioaccessible from the pulp as well as the leaf matrix. Heat treatment (boiling) may enhance the bioaccessibility of TPC papaya fruits and leaves. The findings of this study showed that the phytochemical composition and antioxidant capacity varied across different papaya cultivars, maturity stages and plant parts affecting the nutritional value of this important tropical fruit.xi 3.2.3Color analyses .
