- Abstract
The juazeiro is a well-known plant of the sertanejos, that besides serving of shade and arborization of streets, its fruits are widely consumed by animals. Some research is directed to this culture, however, there is no research regarding the respiratory nature of the fruits. The objective of this research was to evaluate the respiratory rate of juazeiro fruits harvested from plants located in the city of Queimadas, Paraíba, stored at controlled ambient temperature (23 ± 1 ° C and 55 ± 2% RH) for four days. The respiratory rate was determined using the methodology described by Crispim et al. (1994) with adaptations, it was also estimated the fresh mass of the fruit and the loss of mass during the storage period. The results showed a reduct ion of fresh mass of the fruit, increase of mass loss, as well as, climacteric peaks on the third day of storage, thus being considered fruits of climacteric nature.
