Papaya: Nutritional and pharmacological characterization, and quality loss due to physiological disorders. An overview

Abstract: The papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a tropical fruit that is widely cultivated and consumed, both for its agreeable flavor as well as its many pharmacological properties. This review will discuss the fruit's origin and principal growing regions in the world and will briefly explore its nutritional and pharmacological attributes. In addition, we will identify and comment on some of the most common physiological disorders that occur postharvest. Such disorders compromise the quality of the fruit, bringing financial… Show more

“…The mean value of SS contents was 13.66 °Brix, TA was 0.098% citric acid, and the SS/TA ratio was 145.99 (Table 2). These values agree with those obtained by Pinto et al (2013a) and Reis et al (2015), except for fruit weight, which was lower in the present study, but compatible with that of traditional Solo cultivars (Oliveira & Vitória, 2011;Costa et al, 2013). For the genotypes of the Formosa group, the mean number of fruits was 16.12, each weighing 1,298.82 g, and plant production per plant was of 20.37 kg.…”

“…Não se observou nenhuma tendência marcante de aumento ou redução na AT, ao longo do amadurecimento dos frutos dos genótipos estudados. Os valores verificados foram inferiores aos observados por Fontes et al (2012), entre 0,15 e 0,37 g 100 g -1 MF, e de Morais et al (2007), entre 0,13 e 0,20 g 100 g -1 MF, mas estão de acordo com os valores apresentados por Oliveira-Jr. et al (2007), Lima et al (2009) e Gayosso-García et al (2010, cuja variação esteve entre 0,05 a 0,11 g 100 g -1 MF. Na literatura, também há relatos de não alteração na AT durante o amadurecimento do mamão Golden (CORRÊA et al, 2008), ou de aumento em mamões Tainung 01 (PEREIRA et al, 2006).…”

“…In addition, it is widely known for its nutritional benefits and pharmacological properties (Oliveira and Vitória, 2011). However, commercial fields consist of a small number of cultivars and this leads to limited genetic variability (Dias et al, 2011).…”
