Use of colored agrotextiles and length of stay in the cultivation of yellow melons
Oliveira, Odair Honorato de; Queiroga, Roberto Cleiton Fernandes de; Costa, Franciscleudo Bezerra da; Mesquita, Evandro Franklin deThe coverage of plants with agrotextiles of different colors and length of stay may influence the productivity of the crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the use of colored agrotextiles and their length of stay on the cultivation of melon plants in the conditions of the semiarid region of Paraíba. The experiment was fulfilled out at the Experimental Farm of the Federal University ...
Refrigerated storage of 'Gefner' atemoy under modified atmosphere
Oliveira, Zulene Lima de; Souza, Pahlevi Augusto de; Moura , Carlos Farley Herbester; Costa, Franciscleudo Bezerra daAtemoya is a very perishable fruit that needs care during storage. Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the postharvest quality of 'Gefner' atemoyas stored in modified atmosphere. The fruits were harvested at physiological maturity at the company Kabocla in Chapada do Apodi and transported to the IFCE Campus Limoeiro do Norte (CE), where they were selected and sanitized. Subsequently, the following treatments ...
Physical and chemical characterization of theobroma caca l. pulp produced in th...
Moreira, Lunian Fernandes; Souza, Pahlevi Augusto de; Costa, Franciscleudo Bezerra da; Vieira, Jallyne Nunes; Ribeiro, Wellington SoutoThe adaptation of cacao and the quality of its fruits produced in the Northeast, mainly in the Jaguaribe Valley - Ceara, is still under study. Therefore, the objective was to characterize the quality of fruits of six cocoa genotypes produced in the Mesoregion of Jaguaribe, Northeast Brazil. Orchards of six genotypes of Theobrama cacao (PS1319, CCN51, CEPEC 2002, CEPEC 2004, CEPEC 2005 and CEPEC 2006) were impla...
Evaluation of the quality of fruits and coconut water of different cultivars
Santos, Jailma Rodrigues dos; Freitas, Raimunda Valdenice da Silva; Souza, Pahlevi Augusto de; Uchôa, Cleilson do NascimentoCoconut is a fruit of great economic importance. Coconut water is used as a natural rehydrator, energy drink and helps in the treatment of various health problems. However, its quality may change during the development of the fruit. The objective was to evaluate the quality of fruits and coconut water of four cultivars. Coconuts from the cultivars Anã Amarela (AA), Anã Vermelho (AVE), Anã Verde (AVO) and Coco H...
Preservation by lactic fermentation and physicochemical characterization of okr...
Soares, Lauriane Almeida dos Anjos; Silva, Rafael Gonçalves da; Lima, Geovani Soares de; Sales, Giuliana Naiara Barros; Costa, Franciscleudo Bezerra daThe use of saline water in agricultural production will be increasingly necessary in the next decades. However, postharvest quality may be compromised, as in okra, due to salt stress and/or factors inherent to storage and transportation. In this context, developing alternative methods of preservation, including lactic fermentation, may be a promising way to maintain and even improve the nutritional quality of o...
Post-harvest of ‘Prata Rio’ bananas under refrigerated storage
Souza, Darliane Veras dos Santos; Souza, Pahlevi Augusto de; Sousa, Patrícia Ranyelle Ribeiro de; Batista, Elisabeth MarianoThis study aimed to evaluate the quality of fruits of banana 'Prata Rio' under refrigeration. The fruits were stored in styrofoam trays in the cold room at 13 ± 3 °C and 85 ± 3% relative humidity for 30 days. Every 5 days the weight loss, pulp firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solids, soluble solids / titratable acidity ratio, total soluble sugars, reducing sugars and starch content were evaluated. The expe...
Postharvest of juazeiro fruits at different maturation stages
Silva, Jéssica Leite da; Costa, Franciscleudo Bezerra da; Nascimento, Ana Marinho do; Costa, Rafaela Teixeira Rodrigues do ValeThe juazeiro (Ziziphus joazeiro Mart.) Popularly known as juá is a plant typical of the Brazilian Northeast, widely used in animal feeding in times of prolonged drought, however, its fruits are little studied and characterized. In this approach, the objective was to evaluate the post-harvest quality of juazeiro fruits at different maturation stages. The fruits were harvested from plants located at the Centro de...
Centesimal composition and sugar content of green pepper flour
Nascimento, Ana Marinho do; Costa, Franciscleudo Bezerra da; Silva, Jéssica Leite da; Santos, Kalinne Passos dos; Gadelha, Tatiana MarinhoThe capsicum annuum L., is a vegetable of extreme economic importance in Brazil. Information on the nutritional composition of foods is a parameter that assists consumers during the choice of products. The objective of this work was to evaluate the centesimal composition and the sugar content of fresh and dry green peppers at 60 oC in order to identify if these components remained after drying. The experiment w...
Avaliação física e físico-química de frutos de juazeiro (Zizyphus joazeiro Mart...
Silva, Jéssica Leite da; Costa, Franciscleudo Bezerra da; Nascimento, Ana Marinho do; Costa, Rafaela Rodrigues do Vale; Santiago, Mahyara de MeloObjetivou-se avaliar as características físicas e físico-químicas dos frutos de juazeiro colhidos em cinco estádios de maturação. Os frutos foram colhidos no Centro de Ciências e Tecnologia Agroalimentar (CCTA) da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG), Campus Pombal, foram acondicionados em sacos plásticos e transportados ao laboratório de Análise de Alimentos do CCTA. Os frutos foram classificados em c...
