A abobrinha (Curcubita moschata) é versátil e possui grande aceitação pelos consumidores e sua produção pode colaborar com a agricultura familiar. Atendendo às profundas modificações do padrão de alimentação, com busca por alimentação mais saudável e fresca objetivou-se com este estudo avaliar a qualidade físico-química de abobrinha ‘Menina Brasileira’ minimamente processada armazenada sob refrigeração. O estudo foi delineado em esquema fatorial (2 x 2 x 10) dois tipos de corte (rodelas de 5 mm e retalho), dois tratamentos (com e sem salmoura ácida) e 10 épocas de avaliação com intervalo de 3 dias. As avaliações físico-químicas foram de sólidos solúveis, acidez titulável e aparência. Notou-se melhor estabilidade físico-química e sensorial para os tratamentos com salmoura e também para o corte em fatia.
Dekopon is a seedless tangor of expressive size and its harvest is not the same as Ponkan’s, which has been the most commercialized cultivar. The aim of this study was to characterize physico-chemically and sensorially this tangor, through evaluations of soluble solids, acidity, ratio, vitamin C, diameter, peel thickness, firmness, juice volume and sensory impressions on taste, appearance, aroma, texture, overall impression and purchase intention. High levels of vitamin C and the volume of juice which correspond to about 50% of the weight of the fruit stood out regarding the chemical attributes. Most of the scores attributed to 'Dekopon' were above 6.0 and the ones of purchase intention were above 3.0. The fruit can be considered promising to be commercialized due to its good characteristics.
The Brazilian Cerrado is considered one of the most representative biomes because of the great diversity of regional fruits with great agricultural potential and applications in fresh or processed products for consumption. One of the most typical fruits of such biome is
