“…Vale ressaltar que os teores de acidez e sólidos solúveis totais também foram maiores para os frutos analisados em 1997. Reforça esta explicação a referência de Moscoso (1956) fruto. Os genótipos que apresentaram os maiores teores de vitamina C, CMF022 e CMF019 em 1997 e 1998, CMF005 em 1997 e CMF018 em 1998, apresentaram também as maiores porcentagens de acidez.…”

“…Frutos verdes apresentam maior concentração de ácido ascórbico em comparação aos parcialmente ("de vez") ou completamente maduros Mustard, 1946;Asenjo & Moscoso, 1950;Arostegui et al, 1955;Moscoso, 1956). Itoo et al (1990) compararam os teores de ácido ascórbico de frutos de aceroleiras cultivadas em três diferentes regiões do Japão, colhidos em três estágios de maturação (com coloração verdeclara -imaturos; vermelho-clara -"de vez" e vermelho-intensamaduros).…”

RESUMO -O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar quanto às características químicas e físico-químicas frutos de 12 genótipos de acerola (Malpighia punicifolia L.), em processo de seleção pela Embrapa Mandioca e Fruticultura, visando a identificar aqueles com altos teores de vitamina C e elevada relação Brix/acidez. Os frutos analisados foram colhidos no estágio de maturação "de vez", na safra de setembro a outubro dos anos de 1997 e 1998. Os resultados obtidos para vitamina C variaram de 835 a 1820 mg de ácido ascórbico por 100 g de polpa, para sólidos solúveis totais de 6,0 a 11,6%, para acidez total titulável de 0,69 a 1,65%, para relação Brix/ acidez de 4,24 a 11,59 e para pH de 3,08 a 3,57. Dentre os genótipos analisados, o CMF022 e o CMF019 apresentaram os maiores teores de vitamina C e os menores valores para a relação Brix/acidez, enquanto os genótipos CMF015, CMF008 e CMF010 apresentaram a maior relação Brix/acidez, nos dois anos do experimento.Termos para indexação: cereja-das-Antilhas, vitamina C, relação Brix/acidez, pós-colheita PHYSICOCHEMICAL EVALUATION IN FRUITS FROM DIFFERENT GENOTYPES OF BARBADOS CHERRY (Malpighia punicifolia L.)ABSTRACT -The objective of this work was to evaluate chemical and physicochemical characteristics of fruits of 12 west indian cherry (Malpighia punicifolia L.) genotypes undergoing a selection process at Embrapa Cassava and Fruit Crops, aiming to identify those with high vitamin C content and total soluble solids (TSS)/total titratable acidity (TTA) ratio. Fruits were harvested at the half mature stage in the September/October harvest, in 1997 and 1998. The results showed values ranging from 835 to 1,820 mg of ascorbic acid per 100 g of pulp, 6.0 to 11.6% for the TSS, 0.69 to 1.65% for the TTA, 4,24 to 11,59 for the TSS/TTA ratio and 3.08 to 3.57 for the pH. Among the genotypes studied, CMF022 and CMF019 presented the highest vitamin C content and the lowest TSS/TTA ratio, whereas CMF015, CMF008 and CMF010 had the highest TSS/TTA ratio, in 1997 and 1998.

“…Its indicated high yield in Puerto Rico must consequently be accepted with some reservations. This clone is the Florida Sweet which Ledin (5) has recently named and recommended for planting in Florida, where it is most vigorous and productive. It also grows vigorously in Puerto Rico and quite probably is a higher yielder than many of our selections.…”

1. The production records obtained from 163 individual acerola trees belonging to 10 selected clones at the Isabela Substation are shown for the years 1955 and 1956. The trees were 5 and 6 years old from time of setting out as large, well-rooted cuttings. 2. The trees bore fruit during five well-defined cropping periods, which consisted of from 1 to 4 weeks of continuous production. These bearing periods were interspersed with resting periods which varied from 2 to 16 weeks. 3. The four longest bearing periods, accounting for 96 percent of the yearly fruit total, occurred during the months of May to October, inclusive. 4. The yearly yield per acre of a commercial planting in Puerto Rico is estimated at 10 tons of fruit containing 435 pounds of vitamin C. 5. The most productive clone, now strongly recommended for commercial plantings, was B15 which more than doubled the above estimates. The Florida Sweet (K7), a selection made at Homestead, Fla., gave a high yield of fruit which had a relatively low vitamin content. It is rated as an outstanding clone for consumption as fresh fruit.

“…Since the reporting of the high ascorbic acid content of the West Indian Cherry by Asenjo and Freiré de Guzman (4) z , and verification by Mustard (40), literature search indicates that Malpighia punicifolia L. (1,2,3,5,6,7,8,9,10,14,15,16,17,19,20,21,22,24,25,26,27,28,29,32,33,34,35,41,42,44,45) and the closely allied species, M. glabra L. (15,16,23,30,31,32,33,38,39,40,45,46,47) have received much attention.…”
