Zusammenfassung: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of cassava starch in postharvest life of fruits 'Tangerine Ponca' during storage at room temperature instead the film of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The fruits were immersed in aqueous suspensions of cassava starch at 0, 1, 2 and 3% (m/v) plus 0.5mL [L.sup.-1] a mineral oil Assist (Bayer CropScience, company Hoechst Schering AgrEvo UK Ltd. Inglaterra) and the film of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) of 14µm thick, and stored at room temperature. The samples were collected at time zero (day of the assembly of the experiment) and then every two days. We evaluated the weight loss, juice yield, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA), SS / TA and ascorbic acid. The weight loss increased during storage, being more pronounced at a dose of 2%. The reduction in ascorbic acid content was higher in fruits covered with PVC film. The concentration of cassava starch to 1% was the highest values for the maintenance of physical and chemical quality of fruits of 'Mexerica Ponca' during eight days of storage. Key words: Citrus reticulata, cassava starch, conservation, edible film. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes concentracoes de fecula de mandioca na vida util pos-colheita de frutos 'Mexerica Ponca' durante o armazenamento em temperatura ambiente em substituicao ao filme de policloreto de vinila (PVC). Os frutos foram imersos em suspensoes aquosas de fecula de mandioca a 0; 1; 2 e 3% (m:v) acrescidas de 0,5mL [L.sup.-1] de oleo mineral Assist (Bayer Cropscience, da empresa Hoechst Schering AgrEvo UK Ltd.--Inglaterra) ou recobertos com PVC de 14µm de espessura, e armazenados a temperatura ambiente. As amostragens foram realizadas no tempo zero (inicio do experimento) e a cada dois dias, por oito dias. Foram avaliadas a perda de massa fresca, rendimento de suco, solidos soluveis (SS), acidez titulavel (AT), relacao SS/AT e teor de acido ascorbico. A perda de massa fresca aumentou durante o armazenamento, sendo mais acentuada na dose de 2%. A reducao no teor de acido ascorbico foi maior nos frutos recobertos com filme de PVC. A concentracao de fecula de mandioca a 1% foi a que proporcionou melhores resultados quanto a manutencao da qualidade fisico-quimica de frutos de 'Mexerica Ponca' durante oito dias de armazenamento. Palavras-chave : Citrus reticulata, fecula de mandioca, conservacao, filme comestivel. |
