Pest categorisation of Maconellicoccus hirsutus
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), the pink hibiscus mealybug, for the EU. M. hirsutus is native to Southern Asia and has established in many countries in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world.

The site of self-incompatibility action in cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) [PDF]
Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd. ex Spreng.) Schumann) is a fruit tree that is attracting attention in Brazil and also in other tropical countries. Its pulp is used to prepare ice-cream, juices, jellies and many other home-made sweets. This species has a very low fecundity, attributed to problems with pollination and self-incompatibility, noted

Determination of thermophysical properties of cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) dry almonds
In comparison to cocoa, little has been reported on the drying of cupuassu almonds that can be used to produce cupulate, a chocolate type product. Thus, in this study thermophysical properties of cupuassu dry almonds (moisture = 9.68 % d.b.) were determined as: thermal conductivity (k) of 0.14 kW/(m.K), specific heat (cp) of 2.86 kJ/(kg.K), thermal ...

Status of Nitrogen in Different Parts of Cupuassu Tree in Oriental Amazon
Despite the socio-economic importance of the cupuassu tree for the Amazon region, a few studies have aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of nitrogen in cupuassu plantations, especially in the different vegetative parts. Thus, this research aimed to quantify the content and accumulation of nitrogen in vegetative parts of two progenies of cupuassu ...

Physical, chemical and microbiological characterization of cupuassu seed during fermentation
The cupuassu’s seeds are similar to cocoa, being possible to apply fermentative techniques used to obtain nibs and cupulate. The aim of this work to study the physicochemical transformations during the cupuassu´s seeds fermentation. For this purpose, frozen seeds from a pulp processing industry were fermented in three batches of 20 kg for seven days at

Influence of the Use of Sucralose in Cupuassu Candy Preparation
The production of sweetened products has gained space due to the constant concern with the effect of the high concentrations of sugars in the human body. So, the objective of this work was to elaborate cupuassu candy, with commercial sucrose and partial substitution of sucrose by sucralose sweetener, as well as to evaluate its physicochemical ...
