The Atlantic Forest biome in Brazil has great biodiversity; despite of a considerable part has been lost by its occupation by agricultural areas (pastures and crops). The native fruits of this biome are economically underexploited, mainly by extrativism by local communities, and not adequately commercialized. The lack of scientific information about such species, associated with the lack …

The minimal processing offers fresh products, with quality and convenience. In case of fruits, allows immediately evaluation of its internal quality. The red guavas offers high levels of vitamin C, fibers and lycopene, a carotenoid pigment with antioxidant action, which is associated with prevent of cancer occur and heart diseases. With all these nutritional importance and a new tendency …
Although little known and cultivated, uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis Cambess), a fruit native to the Atlantic Forest, has great potential for consumption by the Brazilian population. It has a differentiated flavor and aroma, in addition to the high content of bioactive compounds that can stimulate fruit consumption. However, its short shelf life limits fresh consumption, revealing the need for…
This proposal concerns the continuity of the project to characterize quality of native fruits of the Atlantic Forest, for the 2022 and part of 2023 harvests. In the previous harvests (2021 and 2020) the progress of the collections was impacted due to the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic and adverse weather events. Complementing the studies, for this harvest, the fruits will be harveste…
Controlled atmosphere (CA) can be used as a tool for conservation and characterization in postharvest physiology. In CA the changes in the ratio between oxygen and carbon dioxide reduce the respiration rate and the enzymatic activity of the fruit, extending its shelf life. The uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis) is a fruit of intense flavor and aroma, however, it has high perishability - which hin…
The lack of technologies that enable the in natura conservation of uvaia, grumixama and Rio-Grande cherry puts at risk the exploitation of the commercial potential of these fruits. One of the most effective technologies for the conservation of horticultural products is refrigeration, which aims to reduce the speed of metabolism of the fruit, without causing damage. Thus, this work aims at…
Native fruits with great potential for consumption, such as cambuci (Campomanesia phea O. Berg Landrum) and uvaia (Eugenia pyriformis Cambess), present bioactive compounds and antioxidants that can help maintain human health. However, knowledge about the presence of these compounds in these fruits is still scarce. This project aims to determine the bioactive compounds and antioxidant acti…

The Atlantic Rainforest, despite being one of the Brazilian biomes most degraded by anthropogenic action, still comprises a unique richness of fruit plants. Different botanical families are present in this ecosystem, including Myrtaceae family members, that produce attractive fruit in both taste and appearance. The thematic project 12606-3/2014 consists in the selection and characterizati…
Native fruits species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest are still underexploited, as Eugenia piryformis also named "uvaia". However, the fruit is being studied currently for the different quality aspect views as a way of adding value to them. Besides, in recent years, the consumption of the fruit has been much mentioned because of their richness in various compounds, such as vitamins, ph…
