Abstract
Cherimoya, a subtropical fruit growing in sorne American countries and restricted areas of the south of Spain, is one of the richest sources of free amino acids. The effects of post-harvest temperatures on the texture and free amino acid profile of this fruit were studied. Fruit firmness was determined with a pressure tester, and free amino acids were measured by ion-exchange colum chromatography using an automatic amino acid analyzer. Cherimoya was characterized by high contents of proline and citrulline. Glutamic acid and glutamine were also present but at lower levels. Citrulline and proline increased during ripening; the increases depended on the temperature of storage.
