Sample size in fruit of the ‘Golden THB’ papaya for the domestic market and for export = Dimensionamento amostral para frutos de mamoeiro ‘Golden THB’ destinados ao mercado nacional e à exportação

Abstract

Considering that sample size is important for the characterisation of fruit lots, the aim of this study was to determine the minimum sample size necessary to characterise commercial fruits of the ‘Golden THB’ papaya, for the domestic market and for export, before and after storage. Three hundred fruit were studied separately, of which 150 were destined for the domestic market and 150 for export. For the domestic market, evaluations began with 75 fruit shortly after post-harvest treatment at the packing house (before storage), and the other after 5 days of storage at room temperature. For the fruits destined for export, analysis was carried out before storage and the other after 14 days of storage in a cold room, set at 9°C. The characteristics under evaluation were: fruit weight; fruit length; fruit width; the ratio of fruit length to fruit width; firmness; total soluble solids; total titratable acidity and ratio. The sample size was then calculated by deterministic method, from the half-amplitude of the confidence interval. The sample size for measuring fruit of the ‘Golden THB’ papaya varies with the characteristic, destination and storage. For the domestic market and after storage, sampling requires a greater number of fruit for the physical characteristics. For the characteristic firmness, with a 10% error about the mean, the sample size is 988 and 117 fruit after storage, for the domestic market and for export respectively. For all the other characteristics, 31 fruit are sufficient for characterisation, with an error of 10% about the mean. = Considerando que o tamanho de amostras é importante para a caracterização de lotes de frutas, objetivou-se com este trabalho determinar o tamanho mínimo necessário de amostra para caracterizar frutos comerciais de mamoeiro ‘Golden THB’ destinados ao mercado nacional e à exportação, antes e após armazenamento. O trabalho foi aplicado a 300 frutos separadamente, sendo 150 destinados ao mercado nacional e 150 à exportação. Para o mercado nacional, as avaliações iniciaram com 75 frutos logo após os tratamentos pós-colheitas em casa de embalagem (antes da armazenagem), e a outra feita após 5 dias de armazenagem a temperatura ambiente. Para os frutos destinados à exportação, as análises foram feitas antes da armazenagem, e a outra aos 14 dias de armazenagem em câmara frigorífica, regulada em 9 °C. As características avaliadas foram: massa do fruto; comprimento do fruto; largura do fruto; a relação entre comprimento e largura do fruto; firmeza; teor de sólidos solúveis totais; acidez total titulável e ratio. Em seguida, foi calculado o tamanho da amostra aplicando o método determinístico a partir da semi-amplitude do intervalo de confiança. O tamanho de amostra para a mensuração de frutos de mamoeiro ‘Golden THB’ varia com a característica, a destinação do produto e o armazenamento. Para o mercado nacional e após armazenamento, a amostragem requer maior número de frutos para as características físicas. Para a característica de firmeza, com 10% de erro em torno da média, o tamanho de amostra é de 988 e 117 frutos, após armazenamento, para o mercado nacional e exportação, respectivamente. Para todas as outras características, 31 frutos são suficientes para a caracterização, com erro de 10% em torno da média.
