RESUMO

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical changes and the antioxidant potential of caja-manga (Spondias mombin L.) fruit during its physiological development. The cycle comprised a period of 260 days after anthesis (DAA), set when the fruits were yellow-orange colored and easily detached from the pads. The results showed that the fruits had simple sigmoid type of growth pattern, with significant increase in mass, and longitudinal and transverse diameters up to 220 DAA. A decrease in total pectins and an increase in soluble pectins, lower acidity and chlorophyll levels, and masking of carotenoids exposure was observed, leading to color changes and softening in fruit. Significant changes were observed from 200 to 220 DAA, which may be the period that fruit has reached its maturity, emphasizing phenolic, vitamin C and antioxidant activity.
