Physicochemical and Microbiological Quality of Dietetic Functional Mixed Cerrado Fruit Jam during Storage

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The objective of the research was to evaluate changes of dietetic functional mixed cerrado fruit jam (marolo, sweet passion fruit, and soursop) processed in a vacuum pot and stored for 180 days in BODs at 25°C and 35°C. The parameters evaluated were pH, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), total sugars (TS), total carotenoids (TC), total ...

Proposal of classes for umbu commercialization

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura
Abstract: The commercial classification of fruits organizes commercialization and promotes compliance. The aim was to propose classes for umbu fruits based on fresh mass. A total of 4,140 fruits from four harvests of the BRS-68 umbu cultivar (EPAMIG-C01) with average mass of 87.64 g ± 13.99 were used, individually weighed on analytical precision scale,

Arrowroot Starch–Based Edible Coatings Containing Lemongrass Essential Oil Emulsion for the Postharvest Preservation of Giant Umbu

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Giant umbu is a highly perishable tropical fruit whose rapid ripening limits its distribution and availability, yet postharvest studies for this species remain scarce. To address this gap, the present study evaluated the effectiveness of arrowroot starch–based edible coatings incorporating emulsions containing different concentrations of lemongrass ...
