“…Tailandes showed high levels of soluble solids and reduced titratable acidity and pH (table III). These values varied within the ranges observed in Chinese, Indian and Brazilian varieties [1,8,9] and corroborated with the sweet taste characteristic of lychee pulp which is highly appreciated by consumers.…”

“…This fruit has been widely cultivated for many years in countries of Africa and Asia, especially in China [1,2]. Lychee pulp is sweet, juicy and of great nutritional value and, due to these different qualities, is well accepted by consumers worldwide [1,2]. Lychee fruits are used in the preparation of medicinal teas, beverages and food products [3,4].…”

“…Different cultivars of lychee are produced all around the world. The cultivar Mauritius stands out in South America, the cultivar Groff in the United States and China, and the cultivar Bengal in Brazil [1,5,[8][9][10][11]. Information on the nutritional value, especially vitamins and minerals, of these lychee cultivars is rare in the literature.…”

Chemical composition, vitamins and minerals of a new cultivar of lychee (Litchi chinensis cv. Tailandes) grown in Brazil.Abstract -Introduction. Different cultivars of lychee are produced all around the world and to date no information has been published on the nutritional value of cv. Tailandes, which is a new lychee cultivar introduced into Brazil and other tropical countries. Our study performed a pioneering evaluation of the physical and chemical characteristics, carotenoids, vitamins, and minerals in pulp of fruit of this cultivar. Materials and methods. Titratable acidity was determined by volumetric neutralization, pH by potentiometry, soluble solids by refractometry, moisture by gravimetry after oven drying, ash by calcination in a muffle furnace, proteins by the micro-Kjeldahl method, dietary fibers by the gravimetric non-enzymatic method and lipids by gravimetry after extraction in ethyl ether. Vitamin C (ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acids) and carotenoids (α-carotene, β-carotene, β-cryptoxanthin and lycopene) were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode array detection, vitamin E (α-, β-, γ-and δ-tocopherols and tocotrienols) was analyzed by HPLC with fluorescence detection, and fourteen minerals were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry in inductively coupled plasma. Results and discussion. The lychee cv. Tailandes showed high pulp yield (59.0%), moisture (80.7 mg⋅100 g -1 ) and dietary fiber (2.2 g⋅100 g -1 ), and a low total energy value (70.2 kcal⋅100 g -1 ). It presented no carotenoids, but was an excellent source of vitamin C (34.7 mg⋅100 g -1 ). The total vitamin E content was 117.0 g⋅100 g -1 . Pulp of lychee cv. Tailandes was shown to be a source of iron (0.86 mg⋅100 g -1 ) and magnesium (12.90 mg⋅100 g -1 ), a good source of copper (0.12 mg⋅100 g -1 ) and an excellent source of potassium (1067.33 mg⋅100 g -1 ). Conclusion. The lychee cv. Tailandes showed high pulp yield and low total energy. The pulp is a source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, iron, magnesium, copper and potassium. Résumé -Introduction. Différents cultivars de litchi sont produits dans le monde mais aucune information n'a été publiée jusqu'à présent sur la valeur nutritive du cv. Tailandes, nouveau cultivar de litchi introduit au Brésil et dans d'autres pays tropicaux. Notre étude a permis d'évaluer pour la première fois les caractéristiques physiques et chimiques, et les teneurs en caroténoïdes, vitamines et minéraux de la pulpe du fruit de ce cultivar. Matériel et méthodes. L'acidité titrable a été déterminée par neutralisation volumétrique, le pH par potentiométrie, les solides solubles par réfractométrie, l'humidité par gravimétrie après séchage au four, la teneur en cendres par calcination dans un four à moufle, les protéines par la méthode micro-Kjeldahl, les fibres alimentaires par la méthode non-enzymatique gravimétrique et les lipides par gravimétrie après extraction à l'éther éthylique. La vitamine C (acides ascorbique et déhydroascorbique) et les caroténoïdes (α-carotène, β-carotène...
