Abstract

The objective was to analyze the quality indicators of nanche (Byrsonima crassifolia, L.) fruits from Guerrero and Chiapas, Mexico. The nanche is a wild, rustic and native plant of Mexico and Central America, it adapts to different soil and climatic conditions. Completely random sampling was carried out in three locations in Guerrero and two in Chiapas, in 5 trees from each location, 50 fruits per tree were collected. The indicators analyzed were: fruit weight, fruit density, polar and equatorial diameter, oBrix, firmness, epidermis thickness, pulp weight, seed weight, luminosity, chromaticity and hue. A correlation was made between equatorial diameter/weight and luminosity/chroma with r2 of 0.93. The localities of Guerrero showed greater statistical difference, among them: Paso del Real was in weight, equatorial diameter; epidermis and seed. Fruits from Las Tunas excelled in oBrix, hue and seed weight, and those from San Jerónimo, Guerrero, registered higher fruit density and equatorial diameter. The Chiapas localities with statistical differences were: Santo Domingo in density, polar diameter, firmness and pulp, and Mixiquito in fruit density and luminosity. It is concluded that the quality indicators of nanche fruits collected in Guerrero and Chiapas have differences in: weight, diameter, epidermis, seeds, oBrix, firmness, pulp, hue and luminosity according to the spatial distribution of the locations.
