Passiflora cincinnata is a species of wild passion fruit whose fruit has potential for use by the food industry. In this context, an anatomical study of the pericarp may help in understanding the changes which occur during the postharvest period. The objective of this work was to anatomically characterize the P. cincinnata pericarp, focusing on the...

... innermost region of the fruit (the endorcarp) was uni-stratified and composed of approximate quadrangular cells ( Figure 5) with cell walls rich in pectic compounds ( Figure 7F). This description is similar to that found in other passion fruit species, such as Passiflora coccínea Aubl., Passiflora edmundoi Sacco and Passiflora elegans Mast. ...

Treatment of industrial sewage results in the production of a solid residue, sewage sludge, whose rich organic matter and chemical content makes it useful in agriculture. However, some soil components can be potentially toxic to humans if they enter the food chain. The aim of this study was to analyze the accumulation of heavy metals in the leaves...

... One adaptive structure that stands out is the cuticles. These are depositions of waxes that allow for the impermeability of organs such as leaves and fruits, providing resistance to the penetration of phytopathogenic microorganisms and even to agrochemicals such as herbicides [5,6]. Some species have thicker cuticles, making it an important factor in the selection of matrices in species' breeding programs [4] to ensure varieties that are more adapted to environments with a high population of pathogens and transmissible vectors of viruses [7]. ...
Some species of the genus Passiflora have leaf morphological adaptations that grow to influence the development of the plant in producing areas. Hence, the objective of this work is to quantify and characterize the leaf anatomy of passion fruit species distributed in the South American region, which can become an important strategy in the selection of species more adapted to the environment where they will be grown. This work evaluates the abaxial and adaxial cuticle thickness (ABCT and ADCT), abaxial and adaxial epidermis thickness (ABET and ADET), xylem diameter (XD), phloem diameter (PD), and thickness of the palisade parenchyma (TPP), of the species Passiflora quadrangularis L., Passiflora foetida L., Passiflora edulis Sims, Passiflora gibertii N.E Brown, Passiflora coccinea Aubl, Passiflora alata Curtis, Passiflora tenuifila Killip, Passiflora caerulea L., and Passiflora cincinnata Mast. Passion fruit species present differences in leaf anatomy, which may influence the plant’s development. The species Passiflora quadrangularis L. showed a greater thickness of cuticles, epidermis, conducting vessels, and palisade parenchyma. The species Passiflora edulis has higher density and stomatal functionality. All Passiflora species formed druses on their leaves.
O Brasil é o terceiro maior produtor mundial de frutas, além de se destacar pela vasta diversidade, incluindo frutas tropicais, subtropicais e de clima temperado. Assim, a fruticultura exerce papel importante na sociedade, tanto para a economia quanto para a saúde humana. Quanto à saúde humana, os consumidores têm buscado hábitos mais saudáveis para a qualidade de vida, fazendo com que o consumo de frutas aumente, entretanto, o grande entrave são as perdas que podem ocorrer durante a cadeia produtiva, as quais fazem com que tecnologias de conservação sejam cada vez mais utilizadas. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho consiste na revisão bibliográfica de artigos científicos relacionados à refrigeração e embalagem com atmosfera modificada na conservação de frutas. Os artigos foram procurados na base de dados do Scielo no período de 2011 a 2021, utilizando-se as palavras-chave combinadas: refrigeração x fruto, refrigeração x embalagem e embalagem x fruto. As perdas que ocorrem durante toda a cadeia produtiva causam danos econômicos expressivos aos produtores de frutas. Além disso, devido às perdas, a quantidade de alimentos desperdiçados também é um problema evidente. Isto faz com que o uso de tecnologias que prolonguem a vida útil das frutas seja uma busca constante.
