Star apple (Chrysophylum cainito L.) belongs to sapotáceas family where there are many trees and shrubs widely distributed in the tropics of both hemispheres. The star apple fruit has an exquisite taste and it is usually consumed as fresh fruit, has well-priced addition to the export market, with features that make it one of the tropical fruits with great potential for exploitation. In this study creole materials of star apple were evaluated. The fruits were collected in Zapotal Zaragoza and Juana Moza Ejidos of the Municipality of Tuxpan, Veracruz. They were transferred to Plant Physiology Laboratory of the Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas y Agronómicas of Universidad Veracruzana. Ten fruits per tree were collected in 200 trees. Fruit, peel and pulp weight, seed number, seed weight was determined in each fruit. It is considered that the wide variation in these traits makes possible to search for materials with a higher proportion of pulp to increase its potential use as fresh or processed fruit. |
