Para contornar este problema as uvas destinadas ao mercado externo, são tratadas com saches de SO2 colocados dentro das embalagens, cujos efeitos na qualidade da uva são discutíveis. Uma das alternativas pesquisadas com relação a este método é a utilização de altas concentrações de CO2 em pré-tratamento que até o momento não foi aplicado à uva Thompson Seedless do Vale, justificando este estudo, que visa avaliar o emprego desta técnica na sua conservação. Assim, realizaram-se três experimentos: 1. Sintomas da podridão foram reproduzidos por meio de quatro procedimentos: disco de micélio; papel de filtro; gota; pulverização e o controle, testados em uvas Itália Melhorada e Crimson , com suspensões de Botrytis (105 e 106 conídios.mL-1) a 25 ± 1 °C/80-90% UR. 2. Uvas Thompson Seedless foram inoculadas com Aspergillus niger em quatro concentrações por gota e pulverização, em três condições ambientais (Temperatura ambiente, Ar condicionado e Frigocâmara). Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. 3. Uvas Thompson Seedless foram submetidas aos tratamentos: controle sem inóculo (CSI); controle com inóculo (CCI); sache de metabissulfito; 10% CO2, 20% CO2 e 30% CO2, submetidos a 6 ± 1°C/85-95% UR por 39 dias. Os sólidos solúveis; acidez titulável; firmeza; perda de peso; compostos fenólicos totais, número de micélio por baga e análises sensoriais, foram comparados por Duncan. A atmosfera 10% CO2 conservou a qualidade das uvas

Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Thompson Seedless and Regal Seedless are two white seedless table grape cultivars widely produced in South Africa. Both cultivars are susceptible to berry browning, especially Regal Seedless. Browning leads to annual financial losses for table grape growers. Although a correlation between harvest maturity and the occurrence of browning seems to exist, it is still unclear whether maturity levels are the actual contributing factor. The aim of the study was to establish if harvest maturity and crop load could influence the occurrence of browning of both cultivars. The impact of harvest maturity and crop load on phenolic compound concentration in the berry skin of both cultivars was also investigated. Total external browning of Regal Seedless and Thompson Seedless occurred in much higher percentages than internal browning. Regal Seedless showed a tendency to decreased total external browning with harvest maturity. The main reason for this is that net-like browning, which is the greatest contributor to total external browning, decreased with harvest maturity, in all three seasons. External browning of Thompson Seedless increased with harvest maturity in both seasons. Contact browning was the greatest contributor to total external browning of Thompson Seedless. Crop load did not significantly influence berry browning of Regal Seedless or Thompson Seedless grapes. The flavan-3-ol concentration (catechin, epicatechin, procyanidin B1 and procyanidin B2) in Regal Seedless generally increased with harvest maturity, whereas in Thompson Seedless the general tendency was a decrease in the flavan-3-ol concentration with harvest maturity. The development of phenolic compound concentration with maturity could not be correlated with the occurrence of berry browning. Crop load did not affect flavan-3-ol concentration. When the flavan-3-ol concentration of Regal Seedless and Thompson Seedless were compared at different harvest maturities the concentrations of flavan-3-ols were clearly much higher in the skin of Regal Seedless than in the skin of Thompson Seedless (for both the 2008 & 2009 seasons). Comparison of the browning incidence with harvest maturity for these two cultivars (see above) clearly reveals that external browning of Regal Seedless occurred in much higher percentages than on Thompson Seedless. Regal Seedless had much higher levels of external browning than Thompson Seedless. The concentration of flavan-3-ols in the skin of white seedless cultivars may be an indication of the cultivar’s susceptibility to external browning. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Thompson Seedless en Regal Seedless is twee wit pitlose tafeldruif kultivars wat ekstensief in Suid-Afrika verbou word. Verbruining kan ‘n probleem wees by beide kultivars, spesifiek Regal Seedless. Die faktore wat aanleiding gee tot verbruining is nog nie duidelik bepaal nie. Alhoewel dit lyk of daar ‘n korrelasie tussen rypheidsgraad van die oes en verbruining kan wees is dit steeds onduidelik of oesrypheidsvlakke die werklike oorsaak van verbruining is. Die doel van die studie was om vas te stel of die rypheidsgraad van die oes en oeslading verbruining van beide kultivars kan beïnvloed. Die effek van oes rypheidsgraad en oeslading op konsentrasie van fenoliese verbindings in die korrelskil van beide kultivars is ook ondersoek. Totale eksterne verbruining van Regal Seedless en Thompson Seedless het in baie hoër persentasies voorgekom as interne verbruining. Daar was ‘n tendens by Regal Seedless dat totale eksterne verbruining verminder het soos die oes ryper geraak het as gevolg van netagtige verbruining, wat die grootste bydrae tot totale eksterne verbruining veroorsaak het. Netagtige verbruining se voorkoms het verminder oor al drie seisoene. Eksterne verbruining van Thompson Seedless het toegeneem met oes rypheid in beide seisoene. Kontak verbruining het grootste byrdae gelewer tot totale eksterne verbruining van Thompson Seedless. Oeslading het nie ‘n betekenisvolle invloed op verbruining van Regal Seedless en Thompson Seedless gehad nie. Die flavan-3-ol (katesjien, epikatesjien, prosianidien B1 en prosianidien B2) konsentrasie van Regal Seedless het met oes rypheid toegeneem. By Thompson Seedless was daar ‘n afname in die flavan-3-ol konsentrasie met oes rypheid. Daar was geen korrrelasie tussen die konsentrasie van fenoliese verbinding en die voorkoms van verbruining vir beide kultivars. Oeslading het nie ‘n betekenisvolle effek op die konsentrasie van fenoliese verbindings gehad nie. Vergelyking van die flavan-3-ol konsentrasie van Regal Seedless en Thompson Seedless by verskillende rypheidsgrade wys dat die konsentrasie baie hoër in die korrel skil van Regal Seedless as in die van Thompson Seedless (vir beide 2008 & 2009 seisoene). Die vergelyking van die voorkoms van verbruining met oesrypheid van beide kultivars wys duidelik dat eksterne verbruining van Regal Seedless in baie hoër persentasies voorkom as in Thompson Seedless. Flavan-3-ol konsentrasie in die skil van wit pitlose kultivars kan ‘n aanduiding wees van die kultivar se moontlike risiko vir die voorkoms van eksterne verbruining.

Tesis por compendio / [ES] Desde el origen de los cítricos, hibridaciones naturales ancestrales, espontáneas o de cultivo a lo largo de miles de años, han ocasionado fenómenos de mezcla que han determinado la complejidad de la biología reproductiva de los cítricos cultivados hoy en día. El objetivo global de esta tesis doctoral es aumentar el conocimiento sobre diferentes aspectos reproductivos que son cruciales para la mejora y propagación de los cítricos y su interacción con las condiciones ambientales. El primer objetivo de esta tesis doctoral ha sido el análisis del efecto de la temperatura en la fase progámica de los cítricos. Hemos comprobado que las temperaturas altas redujeron el tiempo que necesitaban los tubos polínicos para llegar a los óvulos y también aceleraron la degeneración del pistilo, mientras que las bajas temperaturas produjeron los efectos opuestos. Sin embargo, los tubos polínicos pudieron llegar a los óvulos en todos los cruces estudiados. Es interesante señalar que observamos por primera vez en cítricos tanto la germinación del polen como el crecimiento del tubo polínico a 10ºC. Las mandarinas representan el 24% de la producción total de cítricos y la ausencia de semillas se valora como criterio de calidad en el mercado de la fruta fresca. La aptitud partenocárpica (AP) es la clave para la producción de frutos sin semillas cuando se combina con la autoincompatibilidad (AI) o la esterilidad. El segundo objetivo de esta tesis doctoral fue evaluar AP y AI para variedades de mandarina con características relevantes como progenitores para la mejora genética de mandarinas sin semillas. Para ello, desarrollamos un protocolo eficiente basado en la emasculación, la autopolinización manual y la polinización cruzada manual. Se observaron seis comportamientos diferentes entre las nueve variedades analizadas. Subrayar que más allá de la importancia crítica de la AI para la producción de frutos sin semillas, la AI es un obstáculo para los programas de mejora genética basados en hibridación, ya que reduce las posibilidades de cruzamiento. Esta circunstancia motivó el planteamiento del tercer objetivo de esta tesis doctoral. Dicho objetivo fue comparar la eficiencia de la ruptura de la reacción de AI por tres factores previamente identificados en otras especies: estrés por temperatura, polinización de yemas florales y poliploidización. Los tres métodos tuvieron éxito en la obtención de plantas autofecundadas, y la polinización de yemas florales resultó ser el método más eficiente. La selección asistida por marcadores (MAS) permite la selección de genotipos en la etapa de plántula, lo que la convierte en una herramienta poderosa, especialmente en especies de árboles con un largo período juvenil, como es el caso de los cítricos. El cuarto objetivo de esta tesis doctoral se centró por tanto en el desarrollo de marcadores SNPs asociados a poliembrionía y esterilidad masculina. Mediante estudios exhaustivos de asociación genética, identificamos una región genómica en el grupo de ligamiento 1 asociado con poliembrionía y una región genómica en el grupo de ligamiento 8 asociado con NPG. Se desarrollaron marcadores SNP cercanos a genes que tienen funciones relacionadas con la esterilidad masculina y con la poliembrionia para las dos regiones genómicas. Esta tesis doctoral proporciona nuevos conocimientos sobre la biología reproductiva de los cítricos y la influencia de la temperatura en ella. El conocimiento generado permitirá implementar de manera más eficiente los programas de mejora genética, particularmente aquellos destinados a la obtención de variedades sin semillas. Además, este conocimiento podrá utilizarse para ayudar en la respuesta a algunos de los desafíos más apremiantes que plantea el escenario actual de calentamiento global. / [CA] Des de que es van originar els cítrics, hibridacions naturals ancestrals, espontànies o de conreu, al llarg de milers d'anys, han ocasionat fenòmens de mescla que han determinat la complexitat de la biologia reproductiva dels cítrics actualment conreats. L'objectiu global d'aquesta tesi va ser augmentar el coneixement de diferents aspectes reproductius dels cítrics ¿especialment en la seua interacció amb les condicions ambientals¿ crucials per a la seua millora genética i reproducció, El nostre primer objectiu ha estat l'anàlisi de l'efecte de la temperatura en la fase progàmica dels cítrics. Hem comprovat que les temperatures càlides redueixen el temps necessari per arribar als òvuls pels tubs de pol·len i que també acceleren la degeneració del pistil; mentre les temperatures fredes van produeixen els efectes contraris. No obstant això, els tubs pol·línics van poder arribar als òvuls en totes les creus estudiades. Curiosament, vam observar per primera vegada als cítrics tant la germinació del pol·len com el creixement del tub pol·línic a 10ºC. Les mandarins representen el 24% de la producció total de cítrics i l'absència de llavors és un criteri de qualitat crucial en el mercat de la fruita fresca. La capacitat partenocàrpica (PA) és la clau per a la producció de fruites sense llavors quan s'acobla a l'autoincompatibilitat (SI) o l'esterilitat. El segon objectiu d'aquesta tesi doctoral va ser avaluar PA i SI per a varietats de mandarines amb característiques rellevants com a progenitors per a la millora genètica de mandarines sense llavors. Amb aquesta finalitat, hem desenvolupat un protocol eficient basat en l'emasculació, l'autopol·linització manual i la pol·linització creuada manual. Es van observar sis comportaments diferents entre les nou varietats analitzades. Subratllar que, enllà de la importància crítica del SI en la producció de fruites sense llavors, el SI és alhora un obstacle per als programes de millora basats en la hibridació, ja que redueix les possibilitats d'encreuament. Aquesta circumstància va motivar el plantejament del tercer objectiu d'aquesta tesi doctoral. Aquest objectiu va ser comparar l'eficiència de la ruptura de la reacció SI per tres factors identificats prèviament en altres espècies: estrès per temperatura, pol·linització de rovells florals i poliploidització. Els tres mètodes van tenir èxit en l'obtenció de plantes autofecundades, i la pol·linització de rovells florals va resultar ser el mètode més eficient. La selecció assistida per marcadors (MAS) en l'etapa de plàntules permet la selecció de genotips diana, la qual cosa la converteix en una eina potent, especialment en espècies d'arbres amb període juvenil llarg, com els cítrics. El quart objectiu d'aquesta tesi doctoral se centra en el desenvolupament de marcadors SNPs associats a la poliembriona i l'esterilitat masculina. Estudis exhaustius d'associació genètica, vam identificar una regió genòmica al grup de lligament 1 associada a la poliembrionia i una regió genòmica al grup de lligament 8 associada amb NPG. Es van desenvolupar marcadors SNP estretament relacionats amb gens implicats per a les dues regions genòmiques. Aquesta tesi doctoral proporciona nous coneixements sobre la biologia reproductiva dels cítrics i la influència de la temperatura sobre ella. El coneixement generat permetrà implementar de manera més eficient els programes de millora genètica, especialment aquells destinats a l'obtenció de varietats sense llavors. A més, aquest coneixement es podrà utilitzar en la complexa resposta a alguns dels reptes més urgents que planteja l'escenari actual d'escalfament global. / [EN] Since the origin of citrus, ancestral natural hybridizations, thousands of years of cultivation and admixture phenomenon have resulted in the complexity of the reproductive biology of today's cultivated citrus. The global objective of this PhD was to increase our knowledge on different reproductive aspects that are crucial for citrus breeding and propagation and their interaction with environmental conditions. Temperature in the progamic phase is critical for the success of plant sexual reproduction. Pollen grain germination, stigmatic receptivity and pollen tube growth are the main components of this phase. The analysis of temperature effect on the progamic phase of citrus was our first objective. Using three compatible crosses within the Citrus genus, we evaluated, with this method, the effect of four temperature regimes in every process during the progamic phase. Warm temperatures reduced the time needed by pollen tubes to reach the ovules and also accelerate pistil degeneration while cold temperatures produced the opposite effects. However, pollen tubes were able to reach the ovules in all crosses studied. Interestingly, we observed for the first time in citrus both pollen germination and pollen tube growth at 10ºC. Mandarins account for 24% of total citrus production and seedlessness is a crucial quality criterion for the mandarin fresh fruit market. Parthenocarpic ability (PA) is the key for seedless fruit production when it is coupled with self-incompatibility (SI) or sterility. The second objective of this PhD dissertation was to evaluate PA and SI for mandarin varieties with relevant characteristics as parents for seedless mandarin breeding. For this purpose, we developed an efficient protocol based on emasculation, hand self-pollination and hand cross-pollination. Pollen performance was analysed by histological observations, together with fruit set and seed production. Six different behaviors were observed among the nine varieties analysed. Beyond the critical importance of SI for seedless fruit production, SI is an obstacle for breeding programs based on hybridization as it reduces crossing possibilities. The third objective of this PhD dissertation was to compare the efficiency of the SI reaction breakdown by three factors previously identified in other plant species: temperature stress, bud pollination and polyploidization. The three methods were successful in recovering selfed plants, and bud pollination was the most efficient approach. Chromosome doubling was also efficient, but involved developing tetraploid plants. Cold temperature stress allowed us to obtain a few diploid selfed plants. However, this method proved much more complex to apply than bud pollination in specific breeding programs. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) allows the selection of target genotypes at the seedling stage, making it a powerful tool, especially in tree species with long juvenile period, such as citrus. The 4th objective of this PhD dissertation focuses on the development of SNPs markers associated with polyembryony and male sterility. Through genetic association studies, we identified a genomic region in linkage group 1 associated with polyembryony and a genomic region on linkage group 8 associated with NPGA. SNP markers closely linked with implied genes were developed for the two genomic regions. Overall, this PhD dissertation provides new insights into citrus reproductive biology and the influence of temperature on it. The knowledge generated will allow to implement breeding programs more efficiently, particularly those aimed at obtaining seedless varieties. This knowledge can eventually be used to respond to some of the most pressing challenges posed by the current global warming scenario. / Montalt Resurrección, R. (2023).

Thesis (MScAgric (Viticulture and Oenology)--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: ‘Crimson Seedless’ is currently one of the most important and popular table grape cultivars produced in South Africa, and as such it is of great economic value for table grape producers. Major concerns with ‘Crimson Seedless’ is that it is prone to inadequate colouring, and with increased yields the berry size decreases. An additional difficulty is that methods used to increase berry size, further impede berry colouring. A plant growth regulator (PGR) commonly used in table grape production, to enhance colour formation, is ethephon (2-chloro-ethyl-phosphonic acid, 2-CEPA). In recent years significant research has been done on the effect of sunlight on anthocyanin production in grapes, although this has primarily been on wine grape cultivars. Currently, there is limited knowledge on the effect of sunlight on table grapes, and how this might influence their anthocyanin composition and content. The effect of ethephon on colour of grapes and other fruit have been extensively researched and well documented. However, the effect of ethephon on the anthocyanin composition of ‘Crimson Seedless’ is not well known. The current study aimed to explore the effect of sunlight (by matter of exclusion) and management practices, namely defoliation and ethephon application, on the anthocyanin profile and content of ‘Crimson Seedless’. Four different treatments were applied to two ‘Crimson Seedless’ vineyards, the first site located in Paarl, and the second in De Doorns. The treatments were: 1. Naturally exposed bunches, 2. Exposed bunches treated with ethephon, 3. Bunches kept in shade boxes, 4. Shaded bunches treated with ethephon. At the De Doorns site an additional defoliation treatment was superimposed over the above treatments. An HPLC technique was modified for the separation and detailed profiling of ‘Crimson Seedless’ anthocyanins and was used to analyse the effect of the reported treatments on the anthocyanin profile of berry skins. The predominant anthocyanin in ‘Crimson Seedless’ is peonidin-3-glucoside (Pn-gluc), and this was found to be significantly increased only by ethephon application, and was not altered by sunlight or leaf removal. The responses of the other anthocyanin types varied according to the respective treatments applied. However, a general observation was that ethephon application more consistently increased the concentration of anthocyanins in berry skins than did sunlight. Leaf removal had the least significant effect on anthocyanin concentration. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMIMG: ‘Crimson Seedless’ is tans een van die belangrikste en gewildste tafeldruif cultivars wat in Suid-Afrika verbou word en daarom is dit van groot ekonomiese waarde vir tafeldruifprodusente. ‘Crimson Seedless’ is egter daarvoor bekend dat dit te swak kleur (volgens uitvoer spesifikasies) en tweedens is die cultivar geneig om kleiner korrels te ontwikkel wanneer die oeslading vermeerder word. ‘n Addisionele probleem is dat die praktyke wat in die industrie gebruik word om korrels te vergroot ‘n verdere negatiewe impak op ‘Crimson Seedless’ se kleur ontwikkeling kan veroorsaak. Die plant-groei-reguleerder wat algemeen in tafeldruif verbouing gebruik word, ten einde beter gekleurde druiwe te produseer, is ethephon (2-chloro-ethyl-phosphonic acid, 2-CEPA). In die laaste paar jaar was daar baie navorsing gedoen oor die effek wat sonlig het op die antosianien produksie van druiwe, maar navorsing was gefokus op wyndruif cultivars. Huidiglik is daar beperkte tegniese kennis oor die effek wat sonlig op tafeldruiwe het, en hoe dit moontlik die antosianien samestelling en inhoud kan beïnvloed. Daar is ook reeds verskeie studies gedoen en data gepubliseer oor die invloed wat ethephon op die kleur het van druiwe en ander vrugte, maar die invloed wat ethephon op die antosianien samestelling van ‘Crimson Seedless’ het, is nie wel bekend nie. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die effek van sonlig (deur uitsluiting) en bestuurspraktyke (blaarverwydering en ethephon toediening) te bestudeer en hoe dit die antosianien samestelling van ‘Crimson Seedless’ beïnvloed. Vier verskillende behandelings is toegedien in twee ‘Crimson Seedless’ wingerde, die eerste proefperseel in die Paarl en die tweede proefperseel in De Doorns. Die behandelings was: 1. Natuurlik blootgestelde trosse, 2. blootgestelde trosse met ethephon, 3. Trosse met skadubokse omhul, 4. Skaduboks trosse met ethephon. By De Doorns is ‘n addisionele blaarverwydering proef bygebring. ‘n HPLC tegniek was aangepas om die antosianien samestelling en inhoud van ‘Crimson Seedless’ te bepaal, en om die effek van die behandelings te ondersoek. Die HPLC data het getoon dat peonodien-3-glukosied (Pn-gluc) die primêre antosianien in ‘Crimson Seedless’ is met die hoogste inhoud van al die antosianiene. Pn-gluc was betekenisvol beïnvloed deur ethephon toediening, terwyl die ander behandelings geen betekenisvolle effekte daarop gehad het nie. Die effekte wat die ander antosianiene gehad het, het gevarieer volgens die behandelings wat toegedien was. ‘n Algemene observasie was dat ethephon toediening die antosianien konsentrasie in ‘Crimson Seedless’ druiwe skille meer konsekwent vermeerder het as die sonlig blootstelling. Die blaarverwydering het die minste betekenisvolle effek op die antosianien inhoud van ‘Crimson Seedless’ gehad.

C . The experiments were performed at Embrapa Agroind?stria de alimentos. For both experiments were applied rinse solutions, with water, sodium metabisulfite (20 mg. L-1) and chlorine (8 mg. L-1), that characterized the treatments, during the rinse step of minimally processing grapes, it being used two pedicel cut intensities:full cut and maintenance of a little fragment about 0,5 cm. Quality analyzes were performed at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days of storage, and it was determined fresh weight loss cumulative , fruit firmness, color analysis, acidity, pH, total soluble solids, SST/ATT rate , sugars (sucrose , fructose and glucose) and enzymatic activity of pectinametilesterase for both cultivars. For Sweet Celebration grapes were also carried out the percentage fruit loss (9th and 12th day of storage) and anthocyanins. In 'Sweet Globe' grapes were realized total carotenoids, chlorophylls (a, b and total) and microbiological analyses. To the cultivate Sweet Celebration was possible identify berries out of commercial standard in the 9? day of storage. In the fresh weight loss cumulative, berries without pedicel had higher loss in the rinse with water from the 6th day of storage. For berries with pedicel the rinse with chlorine had the lowest fresh weight loss cumulative up 9th day of storage. For the firmness , berries without pedicel (4.44 N) had lower firmness compared to berries with pedicel (5.04 N), there wasn't significant difference between the rinsing solutions (p> 0.05). To cultivate Sweet Globe, berries with pedicel and rinsed with water had higher fresh weight loss cumulative from the 9th day of storage. In the berries without pedicel the rinse with water led to lower fresh weight loss cumulative from the 6th day of storage. There was no difference between the isolated factors rinse solutions and pedicel cut intensit to the firmness analysis. All rinse solutions were efficient in the microbiological analysis, so the minimally processed Sweet Globe grapes were in the standard established by law for human consumption / O presente trabalho objetivou avaliar a qualidade de uvas ?Sweet Celebration? e ?Sweet Globe?, submetidas ao processamento m?nimo, assim como a efetividade de tr?s solu??es enxaguantes (?gua, metabissulfito de s?dio e cloro) e da intensidade de corte do pedicelo (com e sem pedicelo), na conserva??o desses frutos, durante 12 dias de armazenamento refrigerado a 8?C.

Two trials were conducted in the northwestern S?o Paulo state aiming to evaluate the agronomic performance of ?BRS Vit?ria? grapevine grafted onto different rootstocks, as well as the effect of shoots and/or clusters tipping together with the application of gibberellic acid (GA3) on production and characteristics of fruits. In the first experiment, the treatments were constituted by the combination of ?BRS Vitoria? grapevine grafted onto rootstocks ?Paulsen 1103?, ?Kober 5BB?, ?IAC 766? and ?IAC 572?, while in the second trial four tipping modalities (control or without tipping, shoots, clusters, shoots + clusters) were done in the end of flowering stage, associated or not with the GA3 application (0 and 30 mg L-1) when berries had 6-8 mm of diameter. It was verified that the period from beginning of ripening to harvest of clusters had greater influence in the production cycle (from pruning to harvest) of scion/rootstock combinations, presenting longer and shorter interval, respectively, when grafted onto ?IAC 766? and ?Paulsen 1103?. There was obtained higher production and vegetative vigor when grafted onto ?IAC 766? and ?IAC 572?, being that the ?IAC 766? provided the higher average of clusters weight and berries size. The rootstocks did not influence in total soluble solids (TSS) content and titratable acidity (TA) of the berries. In addition, there was no effect of the tipping treatments on production and characteristics of fruits, except for the TSS content, indicating that this technique may not be efficient to reduce clusters compactness of ?BRS Vitoria? grape or that it should not be performed during the flowering period. However, the clusters tipping in association with the use of GA3 allowed a higher average TSS content by reducing the difference between berries at the top and tip of cluster. One single application of GA3 at 30 mg L-1 when berries had 6-8 mm of diameter provided an increase in fruits weight and size but there was no significant effect (p> 0.05) on production and, although it has not caused a negative impact on quality of ?BRS Vitoria? grape, a decrease was observed in TSS content and TSS/TA ratio of the berries. / ?BRS Vit?ria? ? a primeira cultivar de uva sem sementes lan?ada pela Embrapa Uva e Vinho com toler?ncia ao m?ldio (Plasmopora viticola), al?m de apresentar alta fertilidade de gemas e um sabor especial semelhante ? framboesa, por?m seus cachos s?o compactos, o que exige o estabelecimento de t?cnicas espec?ficas de manejo para reduzir a compacidade. Foram conduzidos dois experimentos na regi?o noroeste do estado de S?o Paulo com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho agron?mico da videira ?BRS Vit?ria? enxertada sobre diferentes porta-enxertos, bem como, o efeito do desponte de ramos e/ou de cachos em conjunto com a aplica??o do ?cido giber?lico (GA3) na produ??o e nas caracter?sticas dos frutos. No primeiro experimento, os tratamentos foram constitu?dos pela combina??o da videira ?BRS Vit?ria? enxertada sobre os porta-enxertos ?Paulsen 1103?, ?Kober 5BB?, ?IAC 766? e ?IAC 572?, enquanto no segundo experimento, foram realizadas quatro modalidades de desponte (testemunha ou sem desponte, ramos, cachos, ramos + cachos) no est?gio de fim do florescimento, associados ou n?o com a aplica??o de GA3 (0 e 30 mg L-1) quando as bagas apresentavam 6-8 mm de di?metro. Foi verificado que o per?odo do in?cio da matura??o ? colheita dos cachos teve maior influencia no ciclo de produ??o (da poda ? colheita) das combina??es copa/porta-enxerto, apresentando intervalo mais longo e mais curto, respectivamente, quando sobre ?IAC 766? e ?Paulsen 1103?. Obteve-se maior produ??o e vigor vegetativo sobre ?IAC 766? e ?IAC 572?, sendo que o ?IAC 766? proporcionou maiores m?dias de massa de cachos e tamanho de bagas. Os porta-enxertos n?o influenciaram no teor de s?lidos sol?veis totais (SST) e acidez titul?vel (AT) das bagas. Al?m disso, n?o houve efeito do desponte na produ??o e nas caracter?sticas dos frutos, exceto para o teor de SST, indicando que essa t?cnica pode n?o ser eficiente para reduzir a compacidade dos cachos de uva ?BRS Vit?ria? ou que n?o deve ser realizada durante o per?odo de florescimento. No entanto, o desponte de cachos associado com o uso do GA3 possibilitou um maior teor m?dio de SST ao reduzir a diferen?a existente entre bagas na parte superior e na ponta do cacho. Uma ?nica aplica??o de GA3 a 30 mg L-1 quando as bagas tinham 6-8 mm de di?metro proporcionou um aumento na massa e no tamanho dos frutos, por?m n?o houve efeito significativo (p >0.05) na produ??o e, embora n?o tenha causado um impacto negativo na qualidade da uva ?BRS Vit?ria?, observou-se uma redu??o no teor de SST e na rela??o SST/AT das bagas.

However, grapes outside the standard for export are sold at discounted prices and are often intended for discart. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of grapes produced in the Lower Basin of the São Francisco Valley for the production of raisins. Six grape genotypes without seeds were used in our study: four tint (Cnpuv 8, Adona, BRS Victory BRS Isis) and two white (A1105 and Thomson Seedless). After, grapes were destemmed, sanitized, treated with 1mol.L-1 NaOH and dried at 60 °C. Later, raisins were physically and chemically characterized. The treatment with 1% NaOH was efficient to trigger skin rupture, increasing water loss and reducing drying time. For maintaining the color of the white grapes (A1105), raisins without the use of antioxidants had a lighter color, next to the fruit when in nature. ‘Thompson Seedless’ raisins had higher soluble solids with 43.78 ° Brix and ‘Adona’ had higher titratable acidity, 3.00% tartaric acid, whereas ‘BRS Isis’ had the highest firmness, 90,12g. The genotype had a strong effect on raisin sensory profile. ‘Adona’ and ‘Cnpuv8’ showed higher intensity of caramelized flavor, sweet taste, dry fruit flavor and firmness. ‘BRS Victoria’ raisins had greater acceptance averaging 6.8 in hedonic scale of 9 points and purchase intention to purchase 65% of consumers. ‘Thompson Seedless’ raisins genotype had the highest concentration of sugar, 736.05 g kg-1, while ‘BRS Isis’ and ‘BRS Victoria’ had the highest concentrations of total phenolics and anthocyanins. All red cultivars showed higher concentrations of stilbene, flavonols, flavanols and total phenolic acids higher than ‘Thompson Seedless’. The highest concentration of flavonols was observed ‘BRS Isis’ with 181 mg Kg-1. ‘BRS Victoria’ had the highest concentrations of phenolic acids and stilbene trans-resveratrol at 31.87 and 4.37 mg Kg-1 of dried weight, respectively. / A Região do Submédio do Vale do São Francisco tem apresentado destaque na produção de uvas finas de mesa, representando mais de 95% da exportação nacional de uva. No entanto, uvas que apresentam-se fora do padrão para exportação, são comercializadas com preços reduzidos e muitas vezes são destinadas ao descarte. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial de uvas produzidas no Submédio do Vale do São Francisco para elaboração de passas. Foram avaliados seis genótipos de uva sem sementes, sendo quatro tintas (Cnpuv 8, Adona, BRS Vitória e BRS Isis) e duas brancas (A1105 e Thomson Seedless), que após a colheita as uvas foram desengaçadas, sanitizadas, tratados com NaOH 1mol.L-1 e submetidas a secagem a 60°C. Após, as uvas-passas foram caracterizadas física e quimicamente. O tratamento com NaOH mostrou-se eficiente no processo de ruptura da epiderme, facilitando a perda de água e reduzindo o tempo de secagem. Na manutenção da cor das uvas brancas (A1105), passas desidratadas sem o uso de antioxidantes apresentaram a coloração mais clara, próxima a do fruto quando in natura. Uvas passas elaboradas com ‘Thompson Seedless’ apresentaram maior valor de sólidos solúveis com 43,78 °Brix e a partir do genótipo ‘Adona’ maior acidez, 3,00% ác.tartárico. Passas ‘BRS Isis’ obtiveram a maior firmeza, com 90,12g. O genótipo apresentou influência no perfil sensorial das uvas passas. Uvas-passas dos genótipos Adona e Cnpuv8 diferenciaram-se por apresentar maior intensidade nos atributos sabor caramelizado, gosto doce, sabor de fruta seca e firmeza. Passas elaboradas com ‘BRS Vitória’ apresentaram maior aceitação com média 6,8 em escala hedônica de 9 pontos e intenção de compra de 65% dos consumidores. Uvas passas elaboradas com o genótipo ‘Thompson Seedless’ apresentaram a maior concentração de açúcares totais com 736,05 g Kg-1, enquanto que as passas ‘BRS Isis’ e ‘BRS Vitória’ apresentaram as maiores concentrações de fenólicos totais e antocianinas. Todas as passas elaboradas com as cultivares tintas apresentaram estilbeno, flavonóis, flavonóis e ácidos fenólicos totais superiores a ‘Thompson Seedless’. A maior concentração de flavonóis foi obtida nas passas ‘BRS Isis’ com 181 mg Kg-1 de uva, já as passas elaboradas com ‘BRS Vitória’ apresentaram as maiores concentrações de ácidos fenólicos e do estilbeno trans-resveratrol, com 31,87 e 4,37 mg Kg-1 de uva seca, respectivamente.

It features excellent sensory characteristics due to its firm texture and crisp flavor that varies from sweet to neutral and uniform color. Stands out as the second most important seedless variety of the São Francisco. Osmotic dehydration is presented as a good alternative to reduce the water activity of this grape, allowing its storage for long periods and improving its stability and quality. This study aimed to relate the influences of different parameters for efficient osmotic dehydration of fruit, in order to reduce post-harvest losses as well as offer new alternatives for the producer. To optimize the osmotic dehydration preliminary test was conducted with independent variables: temperature (T) (20ºC to 40ºC), immersion time (t) (0.5 to 4.0 hours, with breaks every 30 minutes) and concentration of osmotic solution (C) (35ºBrix, 50ºBrix and 60ºBrix) was the dependent variable moisture loss (ML). Then 26-2 fractional design was used, having as independent variables: T (30ºC and 50ºC), t (1.0 and 4.0 hours), NaOH (0% and 2%), bleach (0 and 1 minute), perforated in the fruit (0 and 16 holes/cm2) and C (30ºBrix and 60ºBrix) and the dependent variables and solids ML and incorporation of solid (IS). Proceeding was conducted a factorial design 23, with independent variables: T (30ºC to 50ºC), t (1 to 4 hours) and C (40ºBrix to 50ºBrix), being constant bleaching (30 seconds) and perforated (8 holes/cm2); the dependent variables were ML, IS and DEI (Dehydration Efficiency Index). The best conditions for osmotic dehydration using DEI as a parameter was the application of bleach for 30 seconds, 8 holes/cm2, osmotic solution at 42ºBrix, immersion time of 1.6 hours and temperature of 46 ° C. The response surface models obtained were predictive of ML and IS, except for DEI. The product selected best set Page's equation (R2 = 0.995). / A uva Crimson Seedless (Vitis vinifera L.) é uma das mais importantes variedades sem sementes, devido ao seu atraente cacho médio, e grande bagas rosadas escuras. Apresenta característica sensorial excelente devido a sua textura firme e crocante, sabor que varia do doce ao neutro, e coloração uniforme. Destaca-se como a segunda variedade sem semente mais importante do Vale do São Francisco. À desidratação osmótica apresenta-se como boa alternativa para reduzir a atividade de água desta uva, permitindo o seu armazenamento por períodos longos e melhorando a sua estabilidade e qualidade. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo relacionar as influências de diferentes parâmetros para um eficiente processo de desidratação osmótica deste fruto, com a finalidade de reduzir as perdas pós-colheita como também oferecer novas alternativas para o produtor. Para otimizar a desidratação osmótica foi realizado ensaio preliminar com as variáveis independentes: temperatura (T) (20ºC a 40ºC), tempo de imersão (t) (0,5 a 4,0 horas, com intervalos a cada 30 minutos) e concentração da solução osmótica (C) (35ºBrix, 50ºBrix e 60ºBrix); sendo a variável dependente perda de umidade (PU). Em seguida foi aplicado planejamento fracionado 26-2, tendo como variáveis independentes: T (30ºC e 50ºC), t (1,0 e 4,0 horas), NaOH (0% e 2%), branqueamento (0 e 1 minuto), perfurações no fruto (0 e 16 perfurações/cm2) e C (30ºBrix e 60ºBrix); e as variáveis dependentes PU e incorporação de sólidos (IS). Prosseguindo foi realizado um planejamento fatorial 23, com variáveis independentes: T (30ºC a 50ºC), t (1 a 4 horas) e C (40ºBrix a 50ºBrix), sendo constante o branqueamento (30 segundos) e perfurações (8 perfurações/cm2); as variáveis dependentes foram PU, IS e IED (Índice de Eficiência de Desidratação). As melhores condições para a desidratação osmótica utilizando o IED como parâmetro foi a aplicação de branqueamento por 30 segundos, 8 perfurações/cm2, solução osmótica com 42ºBrix, tempo de imersão de 1,6 horas e temperatura de 46ºC. Os modelos de superfície de resposta obtidos foram preditivos para PU e IS, exceto para o IED. O produto selecionado ajustou melhor a equação de Page (R2 = 0,995).

Three experiments had been carried out. For the first one, taking into account the Normative Brazilian/2002 and the requirements for exportations, it was determined that Advanced Selection 8 develops large cluster, inserted in class 2, with dark reddish berry, caliber 20, and ellipsoid format; 'BRS Morena' presents cluster of medium size, in class 2, with berry colored of black nuance, caliber 20, and format between ellipsoid and globoid; 'BRS Linda' with large cluster, in class 2, light-green color, and 'Crimson Seedless' with pink colored and small cluster inserted in class 1, offer berries in caliber 18 with ellipsoid formats; 'BRS Clara' develops medium size cluster in class 2, berry with caliber, green yellowish green color and a format elongated ellipsoid. All of these grapes meet the standards for national market that demands a minimum of 12 millimeters of diameter. On the other hand, 'BRS Clara' does not meet the minimum diameter demanded for exportations. The red grapes ' BRS Morena' e 'Crimson Seedless' develop the firmest berries. The hydrogenionic potential, titratable acidity and soluble solids content meet the official standard values. The largest clusters are significantly less acid and present higher soluble solid/titratable acidity ratio, inferring to be the sweetest when mature. For the second experiment, it was determined and correlated the content of acid Lascorbic, total phenolic composites, trans-resveratrol, and the total antioxidative capacity of the studied grapes. All grape samples presented low acid L-ascorbic contents. The white 'BRS Clara' presents marked content of total phenolic compounds, followed by the white 'BRS Linda', in third position are the red ones: Advanced Selection 8, 'BRS Morena', and 'Crimson Seedless'. 5 Grapes presented distinct contents of trans-resveratrol in this following order of superiority: 'BRS Morena', 'Crimson', Advanced Selection 8, 'BRS Linda', and 'BRS Clara'. Trans-resveratrol seems to provide varietal identity. Red grapes presented higher contents of trans-resveratrol. 'BRS Clara', ' Crimson Seedless', and 'BRS Linda', similarly, presented the highest antioxidative capacity and the color of the grape did not influence on that. The contents of total extractable phenolic compounds influenced positively on the antioxidative capacity. Grapes presenting larger contents of total extractable phenolic compounds presented lower content of transresveratrol. For the third experiment it was used the Quantitative Descriptive Sensorial Analysis, by means of selected and trained judges. On the global quality, 'BRS Morena' was superior than others grapes evaluated, while Advanced Selection 8 was in second position, and 'BRS Linda' and 'Crimson Seedless' occupied the third position, while 'BRS Clara' showed the most inferior sensorial quality. The general characteristics flavor, with large superiority, followed, in this order, by the strongest tonality, the red color, the most spherical format, the highest firmness, succulence, crispness, and sweetness contributed positively with the global quality. The bitter taste and the sensorial acidity, in this sequence of intensity, were the attributes of larger negative influence. The results for physical and physical-chemical evaluations, together, reflect significantly the sensorial perceptions. Therefore, once inserted in the official standards of identity and quality, beside the varietal characteristic flavor, producers must prefer to produce grapes of stronger tone, larger sizes, and more spherical or globular formats. / O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os atributos físicos, físico-químicos, bioativos e sensoriais das primeiras variedades de uvas (Vitis vinifera L.) sem sementes brasileiras, 'BRS Clara', 'BRS Linda' e 'BRS Morena', mais a Seleção Avançada 8, comparadas com a norte-americana 'Crimson Seedless'. Foram conduzidos três experimentos. Assim, com o primeiro considerando as Normativas brasileiras/2002 e as exigências para exportações, determinou-se que a Seleção Avançada 8 possui cacho grande na classe 2 com baga avermelhada escura, calibre 20 e formato elipsóide; A 'BRS Morena' apresenta cacho médio na classe 2, com baga colorida de nuança preta, calibre 20 e de formato elipsóide a quase globoso; a 'BRS Linda' com cacho grande, classe 2, de cor verde clara e a 'Crimson' com cacho róseo, pequeno na classe 1 oferecem bagas de calibre 18 e com formatos elipsóides; a 'BRS Clara' possui cacho médio e de classe 2, com baga de calibre 14, tom verde amarelado e de formato elipsóide alongado. Todas atendem o mercado nacional quanto aos diâmetros mínimos de 12 milímetros. A 'BRS Clara' não atende os diâmetros exigidos para exportações. As uvas tintas 'BRS Morena' e 'Crimson Seedless' dispõem das bagas mais firmes. O potencial hidrogeniônico, a acidez titulável e os teores de açúcares solúveis atendem aos padrões oficiais. Os cachos maiores são os menos ácidos e apresentam a melhor relação de sólidos solúveis/acidez titulável, inferindo serem os mais doces, quando maduros. O segundo experimento determinou e correlacionou os teores de ácido L-ascórbico, compostos fenólicos totais extraíveis, trans-resveratrol e a capacidade antioxidante total das uvas estudadas. Todas as amostras apresentaram baixos conteúdos de ácido L-ascórbico. A branca 'BRS Clara' apresenta destacado teor de compostos fenólicos totais extraíveis, seguida pela branca 'BRS Linda', em terceiro lugar encontram-se as tintas Seleção 8, 'BRS Morena' e 3 'Crimson'. As uvas apresentaram conteúdos distintos do trans-resveratrol e nessa ordem de superioridade: 'BRS Morena', 'Crimson', Seleção Avançada 8, 'BRS Linda' e 'BRS Clara'. O trans-resveratrol parece conferir identidade varietal. As tintas apresentaram maiores conteúdos de trans-resveratrol. A 'BRS Clara', 'Crimson' e 'BRS Linda', igualmente, apresentaram a maior capacidade antioxidante. A cor não interferiu na capacidade antioxidante. Os compostos fenólicos totais influenciaram positivamente na capacidade antioxidante. Uvas com maiores quantidades de compostos fenólicos totais extraíveis, apresentam menores teores de transresveratrol. No terceiro experimento utilizou-se a Análise Sensorial Descritiva Quantitativa, mediante julgadores selecionados e treinados. Quanto à qualidade global, a 'BRS Morena' apresentou-se superior, a Seleção Avançada 8 destacou-se em segundo lugar, enquanto, a 'BRS Linda' e 'Crimson Seedless' ocuparam o terceiro lugar e a BRS Clara' foi de qualidade inferior, sensorialmente. O sabor geral característico, com ampla superioridade, seguido na ordem, pela tonalidade mais forte, a cor tinta, o formato mais esférico, a maior firmeza, suculência, crocância e doçura contribuíram positivamente com a qualidade global. O amargor e a acidez sensorial, nesta seqüência de intensidade, foram os atributos de maior influência negativa. Os resultados das avaliações físicas e físico-químicas, em conjunto, refletem com significância as percepções sensoriais. Uma vez, dentro dos padrões de identidade e qualidade oficiais, além do sabor varietal característico, os produtores devem preferir produzir uvas de tons mais fortes, tamanhos maiores e de formatos mais esféricos ou globosos.
