RESUMO -O objetivo foi avaliar algumas características qualitativas e estimar o teor de sólidos solúveis (TSS) nas porções basal (ligada ao pedúnculo), mediana e apical do fruto da pinheira. Para a estimação desse teor, três pinhas de cada uma de dez árvores, de pomares localizados em Mossoró-RN e Aracati-CE, com idade entre seis e oito anos, foram utilizadas. As árvores foram consideradas repetições (blocos), os frutos foram considerados parcelas e as porções dos frutos, subparcelas. Três frutos de cada árvore foram descascados e divididos em três porções aproximadamente iguais, da base para o ápice. O material foi triturado e filtrado. No suco obtido, foram feitas três leituras em um refratômetro. A média destas três leituras representou o valor de cada subparcela. A análise de variância conjunta indicou efeitos de locais, blocos em locais, porções e da interação locais x frutos x porções. O peso do fruto variou de 226 a 418 g e o rendimento de polpa, de 45 a 54 %. O TSS na porção basal (26,49 %) foi inferior aos teores das porções mediana (28,02 %) e apical (27,53 %), mas não diferiu significativamente daquele da porção apical.Termos de indexação: pinha, ata, brix, frutos tropicais, fruta-do-conde. DETERMINATION OF THE QUALITY AND SOLUBLE SOLIDS CONTENT AT DIFFERENT PARTS OF CUSTARD APPLE (Annona squamosa L.) FRUITABSTRACT -The objective of this research was evaluate some qualitative traits and estimate the soluble solids content (SSC) in basal (linked to peduncle), median and apical fractions of the custard apple. Three fruits of each one of the ten trees, from 6-8 years old, orchards growing at Mossoró-RN and Aracati-CE, Brazil were utilized. The trees were considered replications (blocks), the fruits were the plots and the fruit fractions were the subplot. Three fruits of each tree were peeled and fractioned in the mentioned portions. The material was homogenized in a blender and filtered in nylon. In the juice obtained, three readings in a digital refractometer were made. The average of these values represented the value for each splitplot. The joint analysis of variance showed effects of sites, blocks whitin sites, fractions and sites x fruits x fractions interaction . The fruit weight varied 226 to 418 g and the pulp yield (pulp weight/fruit weight) varied of 45 to 54 %. The SSC in basal fraction (26.49 %) was lower than in the median (28.02 %) and in the apical (27.53 %) portions contents, but did not differ significantly from that to the apical fraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
