“…This growth pattern is in contrast to cherimoya that exhibits a double sigmoidal growth curve (Higuchi et al., 1998) determined using fruit length, and basal, central and apical circumferences. Fruit age (anthesis to the harvest ripe stage) does not influence pulp weight percentage at harvest time (Tenías, 1972; Worrell et al., 1994; Livera & Guerra, 1996; Márquez Cardozo, 2009). The rate of fruit growth from the “bristly” to the mature stage varies depending on tree age, the cultivar and environmental factors.…”

“…This relationship would be expected based upon the relationship between fruit surface area to fruit weight, with small fruit weight having a higher ratio of fruit surface area to weight. Marquez‐Cardozo (2009), using the cultivar “Elita,” found that weight loss per day was the same until the 6th day by which time the fruit had lost 14.7% of its initial weight. Further weight loss occurred as the fruit continued to ripen and became overripe; the weight loss was then 21.7%.…”

“…The soluble solids increased from 10 to 16% during the three days of ripening. The sucrose content in the pulp increased reaching a maximum 3 days after harvest (15–42 mg g −1 ), then declined to 40% of its maximum value, 6 days after harvest (Paull et al., 1983; Márquez Cardozo, 2009), The glucose and fructose content increased slowly until a maximum value 5 days after harvest of 35 and 42 mg g −1 , respectively. The ratio of sucrose:glucose:fructose when fully ripe was 4.3:3.0:3.2.…”

“…Ethylene production was low (0.2–0.9 μL kg −1 h −1 ) during the preclimateric stage, then increased after the 4th day reaching a peak of 290 μL kg −1 h −1 on day 6. The ethylene maximum production varies between 80 and 720 μL kg −1 h −1 (Paull et al., 1983; Worrell et al., 1994; Mosca et al., 1999; Márquez Cardozo, 2009), probably due to the number of carpellary segments that ripened at the same time. Bruinsma and Paull (1984) used tissue disks and found that the disks exhibited the same CO 2 production pattern as the entire fruit, concluding that it is a fruit characteristic, and not the result of the differences in physiological age of the ovaries.…”

The South American soursop, guanabana or graviola fruit, was unknown to Europeans until the voyages of Christopher Columbus. The tree is now grown commercially and in home gardens throughout the tropics. The fruit is consumed as a fresh fruit and juice, and the frozen pulp is used in the preparation of ice creams, sherbets, and juices in many world markets. The juice is sometimes mixed with other fruit juices. The pulp is also used in the preparation of drinks, wines, cakes, mousses, gelatins, and puddings or consumed green as a vegetable. This review discusses the taxonomy and morphology of the soursop, cultivar collection, and their use in selection and breeding programs as progenitors for developing new varieties.The environmental requirements, cultural practices, and plant propagation methods for soursop are reviewed. Orchard management that includes planting density, plant nutrition, pest and disease occurrence and control, harvest methods, and yields are discussed. Future prospects are considered.

Abstract:The physicochemical composition of harvested soursop (Annona muricata L.) fruits from Coast region,Tanzania, during open-air storage was determined. The ash, titratable acidity, crude fat, crude fiber, moisture and sugars content were determined by proximate analysis. Ascorbic acid contents were determined using the 2,6-dichlorophenol-indophenol dye method while macro-nutrients and heavy metals were determined by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (FAAS). The fruits were harvested at the mature ripe stage and kept in open air storage over several days. The determinations were done immediately after fruit arrival at the laboratory and thereafter at intervals of two days from the day of harvest. The results showed that soursop fruits had high moisture content (73.1% -82.1%), low titratable acidity (0.10 -1.25% ca), low crude fat (0.42 mg/100 g-fw), moderate ash content (0.87 mg/100 g-fw) and crude fibre content (6.09 mg/100 g-fw), high ascorbic acid content (34.0 -19.7 mg/100 g-fw), high total sugars content (34.3% -45.3%), reducing sugar content (18.9% -39.2%) and sucrose content (15.5% -30.0%). Of the macroelements Na, Ca and K, the average content were 895.6, 870.3 and 367.5 mg/100 g-fw respectively. Heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd) content was very low in the soursop fruits, ranging between <0.0015 mg/100 g-fw for Cd and 0.82 mg/100 g-fw for Fe. During storage, the moisture content, titratable acidity level and sugars content in the fruit were all increasing whereas the ascorbic acid content was decreasing. There were no significant changes during storage for levels of crude fat, fiber, ash, mineral elements and heavy metals. The findings from this study suggest that this fruit from coast region of Tanzania can contribute nutritionally to the health of the consumer.
