Caracterização pós-colheita de figos (Ficus carica L.) produzidos sob diferentes condições de cultivo na Chapada do Apodi - CE.

The production of figs for fresh consumption is limited by rainfall, causing high losses, which can impede its cultivation during the rainy season site (February-May), at which time the fruit reaches its highest price. This difficulty can be circumvented with the use of a greenhouse. The objective of the present work to characterize the post-harvest quality of figs produced in greenhouses and open the Apodi Plateau-CE. The fruits used in this experiment were collected in an experimental orchard and Teaching Unit Search (UEPE) belonging to the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceara (IFCE), located in the Apodi Plateau in North Limon - Ceará, where they were grown in the open and under glass.The following analyzes were performed: fruit diameter, fruit weight, firmness, soluble solids (SS), titratable acidity (TA) and pH. According to the parameters analyzed, figs grown in the greenhouse showed better physical and chemical attributes in relation to grown in the open air, concluding that the type of crop influences on post-harvest quality of the fruit.
