Physical and chemical characterization of banana "prata ceraíma"
Resumen
The banana tree is one of the main fruit trees of popular consumption in Brazil and is distributed throughout the national territory, being among the main crops, in planted area, volume produced and production value. Physicochemical analyses are of great importance to characterize the quality of fruits in the commercial standard, when it comes to a new variety. The objective of this study was to describe the physical and chemical characteristics of 'Prata Ceraíma' banana fruits. The fruits were harvested in the municipality of Janaúba and were taken to the Physiology and Postharvest Laboratory of the State University of Montes Claros, UNIMONTES, on the Campus of Janaúba – MG. Analyses were performed to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the banana, such as fruit weight, diameter, length, firmness, color, pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity and soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio. The Prata Ceraíma variety characterized in this work presented important characteristics, such as soluble solids, titratable acidity and pH are within the quality standards desired in the commercialization.
