Os cachos de bananas foram selecionados de acordo com o número de brácteas abortadas desde a emissão da inflorescência até o momento da colheita, obtendo-se cachos com 90, 95, 100 e 105 brácteas abortadas. As análises físicas e químicas foram realizadas a cada 3 dias nos frutos: sólidos solúveis, acidez titulável, perda de massa, comprimento e diâmetro dos frutos, pH, firmeza, coloração da casca (CIELab) e atividade da enzima pectinametilesterase. O delineamento estatístico utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 4x5, sendo 4 pontos de colheita e 5 períodos de análise, os dados foram avaliados por meio da análise de variância e regressão. Para todos os parâmetros analisados, os frutos colhidos com 90 e 105 brácteas abortadas apresentaram alterações indesejadas em seu metabolismo quando comparado os demais tratamentos, enquanto que os frutos colhidos com 95 e 100 brácteas abortadas apresentaram as melhores características pós-colheita. Este método é eficaz na determinação do ponto de colheita para banana variedade BRS Princesa, pois possibilita obter frutos de qualidade após o armazenamento, além de ser um método simples e objetivo.

Registers of monthly erosivity from 210 rainfall stations were used, with daily time series equal to or greater than 15 years. Based on the values of the EI30, a spatial dependence model was made by adjusting the semivariogram. From the semivariogram models, erosivity isoline maps were generated with a kriging interpolator. According to the historical data series, the maximum monthly average value of the EI30 was observed in March, and the annual value ranged from 1,439 to 5,864 MJ mm ha-1 per year, classified as low and moderate, respectively. The highest EI30 values were obtained in the northern and southern extremes of the semiarid region. Average spatial dependence was observed for rainfall erosivity, in most months, especially with the spherical semivariogram model. The range of erosivity varied from 62 to 1,508 km for the monthly EI30 and was of approximately 1,046 km for the annual one. The applied model, with the validation of the semivariograms using the jackknife test, allows the spatialization of the EI30 for the semiarid region of Brazil.

L. F.; Reis, Sidnei Tavares dos; Alves, Erika Endo; Aiura, Felipe Shindy; Moura, V. H. S.; Silva, Daiane Batista Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of levels of saffron on the performance, carcass yield, meat color, and sensory acceptance of the breast and drumstick cuts of broilers. A total of 750 male broilers at one to 44 days of age, with an average initial weight of 42 g,were used. A completely randomized experimental design, consisting of five treatments, five replications, and 30 birds per experimental unit, was adopted. The following treatments were evaluated: 1 (Control) - diet based on sorghum and soybean meal (SB); 2 - control diet with 0.5% saffron; 3 - control diet with 1.0% saffron; 4 - control diet with 1.5% saffron; and 5 - control diet with 2.0% saffron. Performance, yields of carcass and cuts, coloring of the breast and drumstick cuts, and acceptance of the drumstick and breast cuts by sensory analysis were evaluated. No effect of treatment on productive performance or dressing percentage was observed. Drumstick cut b* (yellow) color variable was influenced by the different levels of saffron, increasing linearly. In the sensory analysis of the breast cut, the treatment containing 1.5 % saffron provided the best acceptance of the public. The use of saffron up to the level of 2% in sorghum-based diets for broilers leads to a stronger drumstick coloring without interfering with performance or carcass yield. The breast cut of broilers fed diets containing 1.5% saffron are better accepted. Sun, 01 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT https://ri.ufs.br/jspui/handle/riufs/25901 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z
