Due to the economic potential of camu-camu, considering its high concentration of vitamin C, the aim of this work was to evaluate the quality and genetic variability seven accessions of camu-camu conserved in genebank (BAG) of Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, in the state of Pará, Amazon region, Brazil. The fruits of camucamuzeiro were analyzed for physicochemical characterization (standard methodologies) and mineral composition. The data were subjected to multivariate statistical analysis, using the techniques of cluster analysis and principal component analysis. The formation of different groups for each genotype, which shows the genetic variability and the dissimilarity of the genotypes in the species data, may be used to guide the selection of promising genotypes to enrich the programs of genetic improvement of the camucamuzeiro. Ascorbic acid showed levels above 1000 mg 100 g-1, however, genotypes 4, 1 and 2 show the highest potential and the most promising nutritional capacity, but genotype 4 showed good characteristics for the moisture, acidity, carbohydrates, Cu and Zn and differs totally from others about the total soluble solids (TSS) and flavon-3-ol, features that make it the most promising genotype. It was possible to separate the seven different genotypes using multivariate analysis (hierarchical cluster analysis-HCA and principal component analysis-PCA).

The present study aimed to characterize the physical and physical-chemical properties and perform sensory evaluation of ripe fruits of three banana cultivars of the subgroup 'Maçã ' at different stages of maturation. Bunches of Caipira, Thap Maeo, and BRS Tropical cultivars were harvested at stage 2 of color peel (green-mature) and stored at room temperature. They were evaluated at color peel stages 2, 3, 5, 7 with respect to length and diameter of the fruits. The following properties of the pulp were investigated: firmness, pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity and sugar concentration (reduced, not reduced and total). Fully ripe fruits were also analyzed regarding the sensory acceptance through the attributes aroma, pulp color, texture, and flavor of fruit. As the ripening progressed, acidity, soluble solids and sugars increased, factors responsible for the fruit flavor, as well as the decrease in fruit firmness and the pH reduction were observed for all cultivars. With respect to sensory analysis, the Tropical and Thap Maeo cultivars presented the highest average scores for all sensory attributes evaluated.
