For the starch, it was observed a higher average for green fruits,
differing (p < 0.01) from mature stage (Table 1). Thus, the starch
degradation during the ripening process was responsible for the
increase in the content of soluble sugars in the mature fruits, considering
there was a reduction in the starch content and the accumulation
of sugars in the mature stage. Corroborated by Paliyath
