Conservación y almacenamiento de Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Deg. III. Variaciones en el contenido de ácido ascórbico

The value of the fruits juice is frequentely expressed by his ascorbic acid content In this work, .yellow passion fruit (Passiflora cdulis f flavicarpa) was used. Ripe and partially ripe passion fruits were stored, in both, temperature controlled rooms (5, 6, 7, 2°C), with relative humidity ranging from 8.5 to 90% and under environmental conditions. The fruits were submitted to treatments with skincoating, germicide products and wrappers. During the storage period, samples of fruits were taken periodically for analysis. The effect of the treatments on ascorbic acid content, was determinated for two months. The results showed that there is a progressive decrease in ascorbic acid content, independent of the treatments, maturation stage, and storage conditions. It was observed that the treatments that propitiated better conservation, caused the lower decrease in the ascorbic acid content.
