Atributos físico-químicos de frutos de tomate cereja produzidos no alto sertão sergipano.

Abstract

Carrying out physical and chemical analyzes is an important practice for determining fruit quality, through which it is possible to determine products with better characteristics and direct them to specific audiences. The objective of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical attributes of cherry tomato fruits (Solanum lycopersicon L. var. cerasiforme), produced in Alto 9 Sertão Sergipano. The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Nossa Senhora da Glória/SE, four cherry tomato genotypes were evaluated, being obtained in various ways, called Genotype 1 (found as a spontaneous plant in various parts of the state), Genotype 2 (hybrid Wanda), Genotype 3 (obtained from grape-shaped fruits found at the local fair in Nossa Senhora da Gloria-SE) and Genotype 4 (obtained from planting commercial cherry tomato seeds, found in seeds from the region), The analyzes carried out were pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, dry matter, length and width and average fruit weight. The results were obtained through analysis of variance with 5% of significance by the F test and when significant the averages will be compared by the Tukey test at 5%, in which it demonstrated a lot of similarities between the analyzed variables, obtaining a greater prominence for genotype 3, it showed high brix values (> 6) and acceptable acidity rates, in addition to its oblong shape, which makes it stand out among the others, making it more susceptible to choice.
