Quality of the pirenic and apirenic fruits of surinam cherry tree accesses (Eugenia uniflora)

Surinam cherry is a native fruit tree with market potential. However, the pulp yield can be impaired by size of seed. At UTFPR there genotype which produces seedless fruits, that intensify use this species in orchards, and it important to analyze quality produced fruit. The aim study was determine fruits from pirenic apirenic accessions (Eugenia uniflora). In 2012, 2013 2015, 40 ripe were collected 23 accessions, including an one. taken laboratory analyzed regarding total seed weight, equatorial diameter, soluble solids content (SST). twenty-third access presented physical characteristics stood out other accesses, but, larger undesirable factor, once industrialization diminishes pulp. Access 19, corresponding tree, smaller diameter desirable feature. This also has physicochemical considered appropriate for processing or fresh market.
