Este trabalho teve por objetivo a avaliação físico-química e sensorial de diferentes albedos cítricos, processados de maneira artesanal na forma de compotas e de produtos cristalizados. As compotas analisadas apresentaram diferença significativa, principalmente, nos valores de pH, sólidos solúveis totais e vitamina “C”. Nos produtos cristalizados, as principais diferenças ocorreram nos teores de sólidos solúveis totais, acidez total titulável e vitamina “C”. Nos testes de preferência, tanto a compota quanto o produto cristalizado, elaborados com o albedo de Citrus karnas atingiram maiores médias. Conclui-se que a elaboração de compostos com albedos críticos exige que as matérias-primas sejam testadas, pois respondem de maneiras diferentes quando submetidas ao mesmo processo. Dentre as espécies estudadas, os albedos de Citrus karnas obtiveram melhor desempenho nos testes sensoriais e exigiram menor tempo de secagem. A manutenção dos albedos durante quatro dias em solução de NaCl não foi suficiente para a remoção de naringina, sendo necessário prolongar ou revisar essa etapa do processo. A opção pela fermentação como pré-tratamento das cascas poderá conferir ao produto cristalizado textura mais macia. STUDY OF CRYSTALLIZED FRUITS AND PRESERVES ELABORATED WITH DIFFERENT CITRIC ALBEDOS Abstract This work had as objective the physical-chemical and sensorial evaluation of different citric albedos, processed in a crafty matter, in the form of fruit preserves and of dried crystallized products. The analyzed fruit preserves presented significant difference, mainly, in the pH values, total soluble solids and vitamin “C”. In the crystallized products, the main differences occurred in the contents of total soluble solids, total titratable acidity and vitamin “C”. In the preference test, the fruit preserve as well as the crystallized products elaborated with Citrus karnas albedo, reached the highest averages. In conclusion, there is a need to test raw materials once they respond differently when submitted to the same process. Among the studied species, the albedos of Citrus karnas obtained better acting in the sensorial tests for fruit preserves and crystallized products. Besides it requests smaller drying time. The maintenance of the albedos for four days in NaCl solution was not enough for the naringina removal, being necessary to prolong or to revise that stage of the process. The option for the fermentation as pre-treatment of the peels can confer to the crystallized product softer texture.

Fruits of five regional selections of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) were characterized to identify those with international marketing quality to promote their propagation in Mexico, improvement and conservation in germoplasm bank. The fruits were harvested in June, July, and August 2008 and, after each harvest, were assessed for shape (length/diameter), firmness, fruit weight, number of fruits per kilogram, weight and percentage of pericarp, seed and aril, total soluble solids, total sugars, vitamin C content, pH, and titratable acidity. In addition, a sensorial evaluation was carried out with 31 panelists who graded each selection for color, sweetness, and acidity. Fruits of five selections were ovoid, and with the following characteristics: firmness values from 43.7 to 51.0 N, fruit weight ranged from 22.4 to 34.7 g, registering from 28.9 to 45.0 fruits per kg; pericarp weight from 10.5 to 17.3 g (45.9 to 49.9% of the total fruit weight); total seed weight from 2.2 to 2.5 g (7.0 to 10.0%); average arils weight from 8.9 to 13.1 g (37.5 to 41.4%). The fruits had high contents of total soluble solids (17.8 to 20.4 ºBrix), total sugars (211.95 to 242.70 mg/100g in the edible portion), vitamin C (37.9 to 69.1 mg/100 g), pH 5.0, and titratable acidity of 0.20 to 0.28%. The fruits from the RT-01 and RT-05 selections had better attributes in fruit weight, total soluble solids and titratable acidity and were better accepted by the panelists. Harvest date significantly affects rambutan fruit quality; at the middle and end of the season harvested fruits had better qualitative characteristics for the marketing.

Abstract. Chutney is a native Indian processed product, made from cuts of fruits or vegetables and nuts cooked in a sweet, sour and spice mixture. The quality requirements of chutney are influenced by the use of raw materials herbs and spices. The purpose of this study was to determine the response of three varieties of mango and its interaction with concentration of apple vinegar towards physicochemical characteristics of mango chutney. The experimental design of this study used a nested design with two factors. The first factor was three varieties of mango consisting of podang mango, gadung, and kweni and the second factor was the concentration of apple vinegar (5%: 10%: 15%).Parameters analyzed were moisture content, ash content, vitamin C, total soluble solids, total titrated acids, pH, crude fiber, antioxidant activity, color intensity, topicality and hedonic test (flavor, aroma, and appearance). The study showed that differences in mango varieties and apple vinegar concentration did not interact with moisture content, ash content, total soluble solids, total titrated acids, vitamin C, crude fiber, antioxidant activity, pH, color intensity, topicality and hedonic test. The differences in mango varieties significantly affected on water content, color intensity (L and a+), topicality, and hedonic test, whereas the difference of apple vinegar concentration had no significant effect on ash content, pH, total soluble solids, total titrated acids, vitamin C, crude fiber, and antioxidant activity. The optimum composition based on De Garmo test chutney made from gadung mango and 5% apple vinegar (G2C1) with moisture content 23,50 %, ash content 3,15 % vitamin C 0,10 %, total titrated acid 0,75 %, crude fiber 7,05 %, total soluble solids 4,60 ºbrix, ph 4,31 %, antioxidant activity 93,67 %, colour intensity: lightness (L) 36,13, redness (a+ ) 4,67 and yellowness ( b+) 10,00, Topicality 10,67 cm, and hedonic test : appearance 2,13 %, aroma 3,30 % and flavor 2,97 %.

The present research was undertaken to investigate the effect of various blanching and drying treatments on the vitamin C, �-carotene, iron, protein content and drying time of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis Hook) leaves. The leaves were subjected to sun or oven drying alone or after blanching in boiling water, dilute citric acid (0.3%) or dilute potassium meta-bisulphite (0.5%). In the absence of blanching pre-treatment, oven drying resulted in shorter drying time for the leaves and a higher vitamin C content of the dried product than sun drying and there was no significant difference (p>0.01) between the protein, �-carotene and iron content of the oven and sun dried products. Leaves blanched in boiling water, dilute citric acid, or dilute potassium meta-bisulphite solution, followed by sun or oven drying had less vitamin C, iron, protein and �-carotene than leaves dried without blanching. Compared with the use of boiling water, blanching in boiling potassium meta-bisulphite reduced the loss of �-carotene, protein and iron; blanching in dilute citric acid reduced the loss of iron. Except for citric acid pre-treatment, blanching prior to drying shortened drying time.

Abstract The demand for organically grown products is increasing because many people are concerned about the environment and believe that organic products are healthier than conventional ones. Some studies have shown that organically produced tomato fruits contain higher levels of antioxidants, polyphenols and carotenoids than those produced conventionally. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of organic and inorganic fertilization on agronomic and quality characteristics of the processing tomato. The 2-year experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design, with three replications and three fertilization treatments (untreated, compost and inorganic fertilizer). The results showed that the highest fruit number per plant (98.5), average fruit weight (63.6 g) and fruit yield (168.0 t ha−1) were obtained under inorganic fertilization. The highest total soluble solids (4.39 °Brix) and total soluble solids to titratable acidity ratio (17.4), L* (43.4) and a* (35.4) values, as well as the highest lycopene content (88.5 mg kg−1 f.w). were achieved through the application of organic fertilizer. Significantly higher total soluble solids and total soluble solids to titratable acidity ratio in organically grown tomatoes are particularly important to the processing tomato industry. Finally, the highest lycopene content produced under organic fertilization as well as the non-significant difference between the organic and conventional tomatoes in terms of lycopene yield make organic processing tomatoes suitable for lycopene production.

Abstract The experiment was carried out in the Garlica Murowana Experimental Station of University of Agriculture in Krakow, Poland, between 2005 and 2008. Fruit yield, mass of 100 berries, content of total soluble solids, vitamin C, anthocyanins and titratable acidity were estimated. It was shown that ‘Atut’ honeysuckle started vegetation, flowering and cropping periods earlier than ‘Duet’. However, greater marketable yield and mass of 100 berries were obtained for ‘Duet’. ‘Atut’ fruit revealed a significantly higher content of anthocyanins. The studied honeysuckle cultivars did not differ if estimated on the basis of total soluble solids and vitamin C content in the fruit.

<p>Peach and passion fruit nectars are well accepted by consumers and promise important sources of bioactive compounds. In this study it was analyzed vitamin C; anthocyanins; pH; total soluble solids; titratable acidity; total carbohydrates and <em>Ratio </em>(<em>Ratio</em> of total solids to citric acid) in different brands of peach and passion fruit nectar and results were compared to the Brazilian Legislation. Values of Vitamin C, anthocyanins, pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, and total carbohydrates<em> </em>were analyzed. Results showed many variations in acidity, total soluble solids, carbohydrates and <em>Ratio</em> of nectars of the different brands. Peach and passion fruit nectars marketed in Brazil are good alternatives of ingesting vitamin C as all brands have more than 30% of the recommended daily intake, however, most brands possesses values much higher than stated on the labeling. For anthocyanins values, although there are patterns in Brazilian law, it can be seen from the results that there is great variation between the brands and some have very low values, indicating that the incorporation of this parameter on the labeling would be important once more aware and concerned consumers could choose the brand they thought most appropriate for their need. In conclusion it is possible to say the peach and passion fruit nectars marketed in Brazil are good alternatives of ingesting vitamin C as all brands have more than 30% of the recommended daily intake indicating they are considered “rich in vitamin C”. Although, in the other hand, brands of both flavors are found in amounts higher than stated on the labeling. Values of soluble solids, acidity in citric acid and total carbohydrates are according Brazilian Legislation. Values of<em> Ratio </em>indicate that the nectars analyzed are adequate according to acceptability parameters.</p>

The aim of this study was to assess phenotypic diversity in terms of fruit quality traits and yield, and also to establish valuable genotypes for breeding purpose suitable for different direction of use. Ten cultivars of hot peppers bred at VRDS Buzau were collected and fruit quality (dry matter content, fruit firmness, the total soluble solids, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid content) was evaluated at different ripening stages. A very highly significant difference (p<0.01) was found for the studied quantitative parameters, showing a great variability among the studied accessions. During ripening, the dry matter content, the firmness, the TSS content and the titratable acidity increase for all studied cultivars and there were significant differences between them. A broad range of variation was noted in Vitamin C content in both stages of maturity. In the present research work, a great variability among the studied accessions was found. Fully ripe fruits were found considerably richer in the bioactive factor than unripe fruits. Our results have selected two important genotypes: A12A, an accession suitable for obtaining chili powder, due to the his low content in dry matter and total soluble solids and accession A135 suited for fresh consumption and for long shelf life because it has a high firmness.

ABSTRACT After harvest, onion bulbs are submitted to curing, whose objective is to provide loss of moisture in leaves and drying of outer layers (peel) of bulbs, reaching attractive external coloration and reduction in the intensity of rottenness. The objective of this study was to use an air treatment unit (ATU) - known as heat pump - as an alternative drying method, and to evaluate drying time and preservation of the chemical and physical characteristics. The experiment was carried out in a complete random design with ten replicates and three treatments, which were the following: T1- (control) natural curing in shed; (2) T2- (aeration with air artificially heated by propane burning); and (3) T3- (aeration with artificially dehydrated and heated air using ATU). Curing completion time, relative water content (RWC) of the skin and inner layers, pulp color and skin coloring, total titratable acidity (TTA), total soluble solids (TSS), visual index of dormancy breaking (VID), and fresh weight loss (FWL) were evaluated in this study. No significant difference (p < 0.05) were found for TTA, TSS, VID, FWL, and pulp color among treatments. It can be concluded that T3 promoted a faster curing (12 hours) of bulbs, which provided bulbs with drier skin and intense yellow color.

The eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) it is edible fruit plant, rich in vitamins, minerals and phenolic compounds, so its consumption brings health benefits. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality nutritional, sensory and hygiene assessment of the beverage based on eggplant juice with CO2 injection. This study had four treatments; Treatment T0 Eggplant juice (330 mL), T1 Eggplant juice (330 mL) + CO2 (1,94 g) T2 Eggplant juice (330 mL) + CO2 (1,94 g) + Benzoate (1 g), T3 Eggplant juice (330 mL) + CO2 (1,94 g) + Sucralose (1 g). Evaluations were carried out at 24 hours, 30 and 60 days of storage (0°C and 95% RH) and, at each of these moments, the acidity content, pH, reducing sugars, soluble solids and Vitamin C were determined. Sensorial evaluation measure were; color, flavor, texture, aroma and also acceptability and appearance. In regards to microbiological analysis, total coliforms were measured at 24 hours after the beverage was made. There was significant difference in the results of appearances between beverages elaborated with treatments T3 in relation with T0, T1 and T2 at 24 hours and 30 days of storage. Because of beverage with treatment T3 had got better acceptability by the panelists, mainly at 30 days of storage. Therefore, beverages elaborated with treatments T0 at 24 hours and 30 days of storage had lower appearance and acceptability. The vitamin C content showed a 25 mg (23 mg standard) in the beverages elaborated with treatments T3. The pasteurization process allowed the absence of total coliform in the beverages elaborated and also the good manufacture practices obtained an innocuous product to be consume.

<p>The objective of this study was to evaluate the pulp and the residue pulp of blackberry (Rubus spp), cultivar Tupy, produced in organic system. The concentrations of phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TTA), TSS/TTA and vitamin C were analysed. The results of phenolic compounds and anthocyanins ranged from 41.94 to 91.23 and from 103.00 to 150.32 mg/100 g, respectively. For both samples SST resulted in 8.60, 8.00 and 7.85 &deg;Brix fruit, pulp and residue pulp respectively. ATT ranged from 0.286 to 0.315 g/citric acid L, and for whole fruit and pulp residue, respectively. The content of vitamin C was lower for the residue pulp analysis. The values of TSS and TTA did not differ significantly by Tukey test (p&gt; 0.05). From these results we can make the inference that the residue pulp of blackberry cv. Tupy, produced in an organic system, has the amount of anthocyanins and compounds that can be used by the industry as a source for food enrichment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DOI:&nbsp;<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.14685/rebrapa.v4i1.102">http://dx.doi.org/10.14685/rebrapa.v1i1.9</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
