| description | Home-gardens or “Solares” in the communities Congregación (C) and Ejido (E) Juana Moza of Tuxpan, Veracruz are characterized by their high plant diversity. Fruit trees are an important component of this diversity. These fruits are used for food and income, among others. However, their physical and organoleptic characteristics are scarcely documented. This research aimed to characterize and evaluate the economic and nutritional importance of five species of creole fruits: Green and purple caimito (Chrysophyllum cainito L.), chalahuite (Inga paterno Harms), guaya (Melicoccus bijugatus Jacq.), zapote domingo (Mammea americana L.) and jobo (Spondias mombin L.). A sample of 63 heads of household was selected (24 in Ejido and 39 in Congregation Juana Moza), to whom a survey was applied. In addition, 30 lots (20 in C and 10 E) were sampled at harvest time, where 10 fruits from different parts of the trees were collected to evaluate the fruit diameter and length, and 3 fruits were taken per plot and species to determine the color, firmness, degrees Brix and acidity in a laboratory. The results indicated that caimito, Chalahuite and guaya are used as fresh fruit; zapote domingo and jobo are used to prepare refreshing drinks and liqueurs. In addition, jobo is used to prepare “curados” (a local alcoholic drink) and Chalahuite seeds are cooked and used as food. The characterization of the fruits indicated that variables such as weight, length and diameter were similar in both communities, while the degrees Brix and acidity had statistically significant differences. Local management and use of the fruits are important because families obtain fruit for self-consumption and income from April-September; in addition, the trees are used for shade, fencing, fire wood. |

Los solares (huertos) en las comunidades de Congregación (C) y Ejido (E) Juana Moza de Tuxpan, Veracruz (México) se caracterizan por tener diversidad de especies vegetales. Los árboles frutales son un componente importante de esa diversidad, ya que tienen usos alimenticios y son fuentes de ingresos, entre otros. Sin embargo, las características físicas y químicas de los frutales criollos han sido poco estudiadas. La presente investigación se llevó a cabo con la finalidad de evaluar la importancia y contribuir a la caracterización físico-química de cinco especies de frutales criollos: caimito verde y morado (Chrysophyllum cainito L.), chalahuite (Inga paterno Harms), guaya (Melicoccus bijugatus Jacq.), zapote domingo (Mammea americana L.) y jobo (Spondias mombin L.). Se seleccionó una muestra de 63 productores (24 en E y 39 en C), a quienes se les aplicó una encuesta. Adicionalmente se muestrearon 30 solares (20 en C y 10 en E), que estuvieran en época de cosecha, donde se recolectaron 10 frutos de diferentes partes del árbol para evaluar el peso, diámetro ecuatorial y longitud del fruto; se tomaron 3 frutos por solar y especie para determinar color, firmeza, grados Brix y acidez, en el laboratorio. Los resultados indican que caimito, chalahuite y guaya se aprovechan como fruta fresca; el zapote domingo y el jobo se usan para preparar bebidas refrescantes y licores. Adicionalmente con el jobo se elaboran “curados” (bebidas alcohólicas locales). Las semillas del chalahuite se consumen en cocción. La caracterización dio como resultado que variables como peso, longitud y diámetro son similares en las dos comunidades, lo que muestra el potencial regional; sin embargo, el contenido de grados Brix y acidez presentaron diferencias estadísticas significativas (P≤0,05), aspectos importantes para el destino de la misma, ya sea como fruta fresca o para la elaboración de otros productos.
