Post-harvest of ‘Prata Rio’ bananas under refrigerated storage
Journal Title: Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
This 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 experimental design was completely randomized design with treatments composed by times of storage (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 days) with three replications of 3 fruits each, totaling 63 fruits evaluated. The results were evaluated by means of comparison of averages of the treatments followed by standard deviations from 3 repetitions. In the ripening of banana 'Prata Rio' there is an increase in total soluble sugars and soluble solids. The fruits smooth along the storage with consequent degradation of starch. The banana 'Prata Rio' has post-harvest behavior with potential for commercialization.
