Abstract
Nanche (Byrsonima crassifolia L. Kunth) is a fruit with significant potential due to its commercial value and health benefits. However, postharvest fruits exhibit a short shelf life, limiting their marketability and consumption. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate physicochemical changes, total phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity using refrigeration systems. Two treatments were established: fruits stored at 22 °C (Treatment 1, T1) and fruits stored in a climate chamber at 8 °C (Treatment 2, T2) for 12 days. Evaluations were conducted on days 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12. Refrigeration was effective in reducing physiological and physicochemical parameters (weight loss, firmness, color, °Brix, and citric acid content). Regarding total phenolic compounds, T1 and T2 showed values of 97.09 and 115.88 mg GAE/100 g f. w., respectively. Moreover, antioxidant capacity was observed in nanche fruit. Therefore, implementing a postharvest management system using refrigeration temperatures may extend the shelf life of this fruit while preserving its commercial value and health-promoting properties.
