RESUMO

The aim of this work was to adjust the flowchart of fresh-cut bananas stored in sucrose solution with passion fruit pulp, as well as to know about the physical changes, chemical, biochemical, and physiological and to determine the shelf life of minimally processed banana kept in the solution. The cooling of the raw material in a cold chamber at 12 C for 4 hours was the minimum necessary time to reduce its temperature. After thermal treatment of sucrose solution, it was necessary to cool it down to 5 C for at least 6 hours. The banana slices stored in sucrose solution with passion fruit pulp showed metabolically active for 8 days of storage at 5 C. The banana slices had signs of browning 2 hours after cutting, so it is recommended to add the solution, as soon as the bananas are cut. It was found that the composed system of 60 grams of sliced bananas and 115 ml of sucrose (15%) with passion fruit pulp, minimized change content of soluble solids, firmness, electrical conductivity and reduced the electrolyte leakage from banana slices during storage. The presence of the passion fruit pulp in the solution was important to minimize enzymatic browning. Furthermore, this system has reduced the enzymatic browning, increased respiratory rate and virtually did not affect the ethylene production of banana slices during storage. Reduction of dissolved oxygen concentration of the solutions/ suspension was observed, after 2 hours of storage in these solutions/ suspension. The activity of dehydrogenase alcohol in banana slices kept in sucrose solution with passion fruit pulp increased, indicating that the tissue was in the process of fermentation. The system under study resulted in maintaining the quality of minimally processed banana and presented shelf life of 8 days at 5 C.
