Farroupilha, 8001, Bairro São José, 92425-900 Canoas, RS, Brasil Manuscript received on September 3, 2009; accepted for publication on August 11, 2010 ABSTRACT Fruits are rich in minerals, which are essential for a wide variety of metabolic and physiologic processes in the human body. The use of frozen fruits has greatly spread in the last years not only in the preparation of juices, but also as raw material for yogurts, candies, cookies, cakes, ice creams, and children’s food. However, up to now there is no data about the mineral profile of frozen fruits. This is the first database to quantify the levels of minerals in 23samplesof frozen fruits, including the most used around the world and some native fruits from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. Considering the Dietary Reference Intakes, 100g of frozen fruits can provide 0.2 to 2.8% of macro and 2.5 to 100% of microminerals for adults (31-50 years old). Although geographical differences should be considered, these data can help to plan diets and to develop population interventions aiming to prevent chronic diseases. Key words: diet, dietary recommendations, Dietary Reference Intakes, frozen fruits, minerals.

However, archaeological and ethnohistoric research in the past 25years strongly indicates that cherimoya was not introduced into Peru until ca. A.D. 1630 and that guanabana is only present after ca. A.D. 1000and is mainly associated with sites of the Chimu culture. RESUMEN.-La mayorfa de los investigadores suponen que tanto la chirimoya (Annona cherimola)como la guanabana (Annona muricata) han sido parte del registro prehist6rico del antiguo Peru por largo tiempo .

The treatment of cancer with soursop has been reported to be accompanied with the risk of Parkinson’s disease while soursop juice is considered safe for consumption. The fruit had been associated with preharvest and postharvest deterioration caused by microorganisms and this reduces the total production of soursop fruit. The deterioration process is being accompanied with the production of cell wall degrading enzymes which has the advantage of being used for industrial purposes. One of the important uses of these enzymes is in the clarification of fruit juices. This review proposes the genetic modification of the genes coding for important microbial enzymes for the clarification of soursop juice for improved yield, taste, and colour. Keywords: Soursop fruit; Health benefits; Soursop tree; Cancer; Cell nutritional quality of Soursop. A combination of 1-Methylcyclopropene wall degrading enzymes and wax emulsions was utilized in postharvest handling of Soursop because the combination can preserve the nutritional composition and Introduction antioxidant activity of the soursop fruit [6] (Moreno-Hernandez et al.).

BACKGROUND: Black mulberry is a good source of bioactive compounds and especially of anthocyanin. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphological, biochemical, technological and antioxidant properties of black mulberry fruit and fruit-derived food products. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Total anthocyanin content, total sugar content, ascorbic acid content, pH and antioxidant activity was analyzed in black mulberry juice, jam, jelly, syrup, liqueur, compote, wine and cake. All products were produced from selected genotypes of black mulberry grown in Slovakia. RESULTS: Reducing sugar content ranged from 6.50 mg.kg–1 FM in wine to 60.01 mg.kg–1 FM in jam, ascorbic acid content was from 0.27 mg.100 g–1 FM in wine to 1.10 mg.100 g–1 FM in fruits conserved in honey without sterilization. Content of anthocyanin varied from 21.4 in wine to 106.4 mg.dm–3 in fresh juice.

Materials and methods. Plants of the Pakistan mulberry cultivar were propagated by budding on Japanese mulberry seedlings. Trees were cultivated under saline soil conditions in Egypt. Results and discussion. Trees successfully bloomed and produced fruits after 2 years of budding. Intensive flowering and fruiting occurred in the third seasons. Four to six catkins developed on each branch or spur. Each catkin consisted of an average of 315 flowerlets, stacked on a peduncle. Fruits were found to be parthenocarpic. During ripe- ning, fruits changed from the green stage to the ruby-red stage, then to the dark-purple stage. Fruit ripening began in the second week of March and extended to the third week of April. Ripe fruit ranged from (7.3 to 11.8) cm in length and from (1.3 to 1.5) cm in diameter. Fruit weight ranged from (8.3 to 10.2) g. TSS of the fruit juice ranged from (13.0 to 17.5) °Brix, while pH ranged from 3.1 to 3.36. Fruits contained 10.2% carbohydrates, 1.4% protein and 1.2% fibers. Fruits were found to be a good source of iron, potassium, calcium and phospho- rus.

  • The Biological Benefits of Blackmulberry (Morus Nigra) Intake on Diabetic and Non Diabetic Subjects
    Research Journal of Agriculture and Biological Sciences, 2(6): 349-357, 2006 © 2006, INSInet Publication The Biological Benefits of Blackmulberry (Morus nigra) Intake on Diabetic and non Diabetic Subjects Abdalla, Eveleen Said Faculty of Specific Education, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt Abstract: The intake of fresh blackmulberry on some blood categories and blood pressure in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects was studied. From Public Hospital District in Cairo, 12 Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and 26 non-diabetic subjects (29-74 yrs) both sexes were choosing on purpose. Eating 100 g fresh black mulberry were given daily to each subject for one month. Blood pressure was measured then fasting blood samples were taken twice before and after the month of fruit intake (pre & post) for analysis. Personal data, dietary habits, body weight (WT) and height (HT) were recorded. Nutrients or hormone supplements were not permitted. Nutritive values of the fruits were assessed using Food Composition Tables and compared with Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) and Dietary References Intake (DRI). T-test and percent alteration were done for differences between the two groups and (pre & post). Some risky factors were found in the lifestyle of the two groups which lead them in poor nutritional status. Results obtained showed that blackmulberry has the highest minerals and energy compared with all fresh fruits and other berry types. One hundred grams of this fruit provides with 18.6% of RDA, DRI for iron, 22.22% of Vitamin C for adolescence, 13% of Zn for children (1-10) yrs. Blood glucose, total cholesterol, creatinine, uric acid and blood pressure were reduced significantly while hemoglobin was increased significantly by daily eating of this fruit.

  • What's in Your Tropical Fruit?1
    FSHN 07-08 What’s in Your Tropical Fruit?1 Susan S. Percival and Brooke Findley2 Florida ranked ninth in the nation for total cash receipts from fruit, with nearly 28% of this from field crops and other crops not including vegetables. Additionally, Florida’s top export is fruit; in 2003, Florida ranked second in the nation in fruit exports (3). Since the production of tropical fruits is an important part of the economy of the state, highlighting the nutritional benefits of these fruits enhances their marketability and appeal. However, the lack of comprehensive information about the nutritional properties of these foods presents a challenge. The purpose of this publication is to evaluate the current information available on the nutrient composition of Figure 1. Tropical Fruit Day (2005). tropical fruits. The nutrient information (amounts of fiber, Credits: UF/IFAS Vitamin A, Vitamin C, folate, potassium, calcium and iron) for the tropical fruits examined was compiled from the Introduction USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference Fruits are abundant in nutrients, such as fiber, potas- (4, 5) (see Table 1).
