More Information
Summary:The objective of this study was to identify the perception of consumers regarding the consumption of blood oranges as well as to generate information that helps in their greater consumption. The physical-chemical characterization of the blood orange, cultivar Cara Cara, and the yellow-pulp orange, cultivar Bahia, was carried out, drawing a parallel between them that indicated their potential nutritional benefits. Both samples showed desirable characteristics, Cara Cara has higher levels of carotenoids, flavonoids and total phenols. The sensorial analysis revealed important descriptors of differences between oranges and was possible to identify factors that characterized the marketing and consumption of blood oranges, which were related to the consumption, quality, health and, perception of this type of fruit. It was concluded that these evaluations were able to indicate important characteristics to be used in marketing strategies in order to promote the greater consumption of oranges with red pulp, exploring their bioactive benefits.
