4. Conclusions
The present study did not provide evidence that would indicate the nutritional superiority of organically grown fruits in terms of the components analysed. However, organic acerola was found to present a higher concentration of AA and total vitamin C. With respect to nutritional value, the organic and conventional fruits studied were considered to be excellent sources of vitamin C for the population. In addition, these fruits contribute to meet the nutritional requirements of vitamin A. Persimmon was considered to be a good source of dietary lycopene, and acerola was the main source of vitamin C and the most important source of provitamin A.
Few studies regarding the nutrient content of organically and conventionally grown fruits are available in the literature and only a small number of fruits produced by these two farming systems have been analysed, a fact demonstrating the need for incentive, investment and concern on the part of research institutions and the federal government in this area. The contribution of the present study was to provide a database of the chemical composition of foods.
With respect to environmental impact and social issues related to the health of farmers and consumers, organic farming seems to increase environmental and socioeconomic viability compared to conventional farming, but this does not necessarily imply a better nutritional value of these foods.
