Abstract
Foi avaliada a qualidade de melancias minimamente processadas, tratadas com cloreto de cálcio, durante o armazenamento sob refrigeração. Utilizaram-se melancias 'Crimson Sweet', maduras, adquiridas no comércio de Piracicaba, SP, oriundas do Rio Grande do Sul. Os frutos foram lavados e desinfetados com água clorada (200 mg L-1). A polpa foi cortada em cubos (2,5 cm de aresta), os quais foram imersos, por 3 min nas soluções que corresponderam aos tratamentos, imersão em água pura (controle), solução de cloreto de cálcio a 1%. Em seguida foram escorridos por 3 min, acondicionados em copos de tereftalato de polietileno (PET) transparente de 450 mL de capacidade, com tampa, e armazenados sob refrigeração a 10,0 ± 3,2°C e 79% UR. A cada dois dias, os pedaços foram avaliados sensorialmente e quanto à perda de massa fresca, aparência, coloração interna, textura, teores de sólidos solúveis (SS) e de acidez titulável (AT), pH, relação SS/AT e conteúdos de ácido ascórbico e de pectinas, solúvel e total. O uso da solução de cloreto de cálcio promoveu maior firmeza na textura de melancias minimamente processadas, porém não se mostrou efetivo no prolongamento da vida útil, que foi de 2 dias do ponto de vista sensorial.
This study evaluated the refrigerated storage and quality of minimally processed watermelon treated with calcium chloride. Ripe Crimson Sweet watermelons produced in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, and acquired at a local market in Piracicaba, SP, were washed and the surface sanitized with chlorated water (200 mg L-1). Samples were then cut into pulp cubes (2.5 cm across). Cubes were subjected to two treatments: immersion for 3 min in pure water (control) and 1% calcium chloride. Subsequently, the cubes were drained for 3 min and packaged in transparent polyethylene terephthalate cups and stored at 10.0 ? 3.2?C and 79% RH. Every two days cubes from each treatment were sensorially evaluated as well as the loss of fresh mass, appearance, internal color, texture, content of soluble solids and titratable acidity (TA), pH, SS/TA, ascorbic and soluble and total pectin contents. Firmness in texture increased with 1% calcium chloride. However, it was not effective for extending the shelf-life of the samples, which was shown to be limited, in this study, to two days.
