Nutraceutical fruit characterization, nutritional aspects and sensory analysis of dovyalis jams

Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate the composition, nutritional aspects and sensory analysis of the dovyalis jam. Dovyalis fruits were harvested from 4-year-old plants in the orchard of the Unioeste Experimental Farm. They were collected in the morning in polyethylene boxes, when they were ripe and with a purple coloration from the epicarp, being immediately transported to the Laboratory to prepare the jams. After fruits arrival, they were selected by size, color and weight and then sanitized in running water and the cups of the fruits were removed. The sensory evaluations of the jam samples were performed in a randomized fashion, with 30 volunteer tasters. The tasters were previously advised to evaluate the acceptance of the jams and their purchase intentions. Fruits in natura and dovyalis jam are sources of vitamin C. Dovyalis fruits can be used in the processing, due to its acidity. The jam prepared with dovyalis fruits without epicarp and endocarp, and less sugar, was more appreciated by the tasters.

Formulation and Characterization of Calcium-Fortified Jelly and Its Proximate Composition and Sensory Analysis

“…The rating for aroma showed that panelists placed preference to the sample with the least amount of salt and eggshell powder. Ratings for taste showed a slight difference among the samples 37 . Samples with less amount of salt and powder were preferred by the panelists.…”

Bioactive compounds, bromatological and mineral characterization of blackberries in a subtropical region

“…The bioavailability of anthocyanin and phenolic compounds present in fruits can be affected mainly by their use, cultivars, hybrids and climate conditions. Bromatological compounds are generally found in small fruits (Rotili et al, 2021;Rigolon et al, 2020;. Some studies were carried out with blackberry, regarding the qualification of these compounds (Teixeira et al, 2019), however, this influence on ripening and postharvest conservation is not well known.…”

Physicochemical characterization and bioactive potential in Dovyalis hebecarpa Warb fruits

“…In recent decades, the interest in fruits with sensory and bioactive properties that can promote health has increased. Thus, some specific native and exotic fruits have been explored because of their potential for fresh consumption and agroindustry (Rotili et al, 2018;Rotili et al, 2021).…”

“…Among the exotic fruit crops from the Brazilian flora, D. hebecarpa is a lesser-known species that has great nutritional potential, health benefits, and high-value products. However, in Brazil, little is known about the fruit and it is underutilized Rotili et al, 2018;Rotili et al, 2021).…”

“…The berry of D. hebecarpa is poorly utilized after harvest in different farming systems. To add value to the fruits after harvest, studies on the physicochemical characteristics, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant capacity are required Rotili et al, 2018;Rotili et al, 2021).…”
