The results obtained in gulupa fruits regarding form,
shell thickness and firmness, moisture content, shell,
pulp and seed weight correspond to those found in
previous works on gulupa related passifloras.
Due to the properties they confer to the fruit, features
such as form, moisture content, and shell thickness
and firmness should be taken into account in the
postharvest management and packaging design of
this product.
The information obtained for the studied parameters
allowed establishing a physical standard for this fruit.
Some nonlinear models adequately accounted for the
progress of some of this fruit’s physical parameters,
thus appearing as potentially useful to monitor its
final quality.
