ABSTRACT

Belonging to the family Myrtaceae, ‘sete capotes’ is a plant native to the Atlantic Forest biome. It produces yellow-green fruits between February and May. Although used for consumption by local populations, studies of the fruit are rare. The present work aimed at characterize the fruit in terms of physicochemical properties. We quantified mass, volume, moisture, pulp yield, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids/titratable acidity, proteins, lipids, total sugars, reducing sugars, ash, macronutrients, micronutrients, pectin, vitamin C and phenolic compounds. Compared with commercial fruits and other native fruit trees, sete capotes is unusual for its pulp yield, vitamin C levels, total phenolic compound content, protein levels, calcium content, potassium levels and iron content. Through the results it is verified of the fruit as a functional food, mainly because of its nutritive content and because of its bioactive compounds. Our data emphasize the importance of study of the constituents of native flora.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The aim of this research was to determine the sample size needed to estimate the average of wild passion fruit ( Passiflora caerulea ) traits. It was collected randomly, 133, 99 and 133 fruit of wild passion fruit in 30, 21 and 29 plants, located respectively, in the cities of São Borja, Itaqui and Uruguaiana, on the west border of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, totaling 365 fruits harvested in 80 plants. In each fruit were measured ten traits: width, length, fruit, skin, and pulp weight, pulp yield, luminosity and tone of skin and pulp. Then, central tendency, dispersion and distribution measures were calculated and the normality of the data checked. After, it was determined the sample size needed to estimate the average for each character, assuming estimation errors equal to 1, 2, ..., 10% of the mean estimate with confidence levels of 95% and 99%. In wild passion fruit, 12 fruits are sufficient to estimate the mean of luminosity and tone of the skin and pulp, with an estimation error of 5% of the mean and 95% confidence, regardless of the evaluation location (São Borja, Itaqui or Uruguaiana). In this same level of accuracy 36 fruits are needed to estimate the width and length, 52 fruits to estimate the pulp yield and 319 fruits for the evaluation of the fruit, skin and pulp weight.


RESUMO: O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar o tamanho de amostra necessário para a estimação da média de caracteres de frutos de maracujá-do-mato ( Passiflora caerulea ). Foram colhidos, aleatoriamente, 133, 99 e 133 frutos de maracujá-do-mato em 30, 21 e 29 plantas localizadas, respectivamente, nos municípios de São Borja, Itaqui e Uruguaiana, na fronteira oeste do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, totalizando 365 frutos colhidos em 80 plantas. Em cada fruto, foram mensurados dez caracteres: largura, comprimento, massa do fruto, da casca e da polpa, rendimento de polpa, luminosidade e tonalidade da casca e da polpa. A seguir, foram calculadas medidas de tendência central, de dispersão e de distribuição e verificada a normalidade dos dados. Posteriormente, foi determinado o tamanho de amostra necessário para a estimação da média de cada caractere, assumindo erros de estimação iguais a 1, 2, ..., 10% da estimativa da média com graus de confiança de 95% e 99%. Em maracujá-do-mato, 12 frutos são suficientes para a estimação da média de luminosidade e tonalidade da casca e da polpa, com erro de estimação de 5% da média e 95% de confiança, independentemente do local de avaliação (São Borja, Itaqui ou Uruguaiana). Nesse mesmo nível de precisão, são necessários 36 frutos para a estimação da largura e do comprimento, 52 frutos para a estimação da média de rendimento de polpa e 319 frutos para a avaliação das massas do fruto, da casca e da polpa.

ABSTRACT

Com este trabalho, objetivou-se testar técnicas para o enraizamento de microestacas lenhosas de marmeleiro cv. EMC por meio de diferentes substratos, concentrações de ácido indolbutírico (AIB) e a enxertia de raiz. Foram realizados dois experimentos; no experimento 1 testou-se concentrações de AIB (0, 1000, 2000 e 3000 mg.L-1) e no experimento 2 enxertia de raiz (com e sem enxertia de raiz). Para ambos os experimentos as estacas foram acondicionadas em três substratos (vermiculita, Plantmaxâ e vermiculita + Plantmaxâ, em proporção de volume de 1:1) e avaliado o número e comprimento de raízes e brotos por estacas, percentual de estacas enraizadas e, percentual de sobrevivência a campo. No experimento 1, verificou-se resposta linear positiva para número médio de raízes e negativo para número e comprimento de brotações e sobrevivência a campo, enquanto que nas variáveis comprimento médio de raízes e porcentagem de enraizamento, observou-se comportamento polinomial quadrático, com melhor resposta obtida com 1354 e 2119 mg.L-1 de AIB, respectivamente. No experimento 2, verificou-se que a utilização de vermiculita + Plantmaxâ apresentou maior número de raízes por estaca, quando utilizada enxertia de raiz, porém menor comprimento de brotos. A campo, a melhor resposta foi obtida nas plantas sem enxertia de raiz e oriundas do substrato vermiculita, 93,75 por cento.


The objective for this study was to evaluate the effects of different substrates, concentrations of indolebutyric acid (IBA), and root grafting on the rooting of quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) cv. EMC hardwood cuttings. Two experiments were carried out. In the experiment 1, four concentrations of IBA (0; 1000; 2000 and 3000 mg.L-1) were tested. In the experiment 2, cuttings with or without root grafting were tested. In both experiments the cuttings were placed in one of the three substrates: vermiculite; Plantmax® ; or Plantmax® + vermiculite, 1:1 (v/v). The variables evaluated were: root length; number of shoots per cutting; percentage of rooted cuttings; and percentage of survival of rooted cuttings in the field. In the experiment 1, it was observed: a positive linear relation between IBA concentration and number of roots per cutting. On the other hand, there were negative linear relations between IBA concentration and: number of shoots; shoot length; and rooted cutting survival, respectively. Regarding to number of roots per cutting and percentage of rooted cuttings, both variables presented quadratic relation with IBA concentrations. The thresholds for root length was 1534 mg.L-1 of IBA and rooted cuttings percentage was 2119 mg.L-1 of IBA. In the experiment 2, it was observed that: root grafted cuttings had higher number of roots and lower shoot lengths when used the substrate Plantmax® + vermiculite. In the field, the highest plant survival (93.75 percent) was observed in those from direct rooting cuttings in the vermiculite substrate.
