Abstract Even though wild maracuja (Passiflora foetida) is cultivated in tropical areas, no thorough investigation regarding its yield or nutritional composition is easily available. This paper aims to estimate its fruit yield, using four staking systems; as well as determine both its fruit pulp and peel chemical composition. The treatments used were T1= No staking, T2= A vertical rod, T3= A horizontal rod, 60 cm from the ground, T4= Two horizontal poles, 60 and 120 cm from the ground, and T5= Using horizontal trellises, 80 cm above ground. The findings showed T5, T4, T3, T2 and T1 to yield 1.40, 1.05, 0.66, 0.40 and 0.35 tons of fruits per hectare, respectively. In general, the fruit pulp held higher nutrient content than that of fruit peel. The pulp... |

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical characteristics and functional properties of "dedo-de-moça" 'BRS Mari' pepper fruits at different maturity stages, and determine the ideal harvest stage for fresh consumption. The pepper plants were grown in the experimental field of Embrapa Hortaliças (Brasília, DF, Brazil) in 2012, and their fruits were evaluated at 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 days after anthesis (DAA) to determine the soluble solid content (SS), titratable acidity (TA), SS/TA ratio, color (hue angle and lightness), a, b, and total chlorophyll, total phenolic compounds (TPC), total antioxidant activity (TAA), and capsanthin. It was observed that SS content increased until 70 DAA, and TA increased until 50 DAA,... |
