Variability of Fruit Quality among 103 Acerola (<i>Malpighia emarginata</i> D. C.) Phenotypes from the Subtropical Region of Brazil

Acerola fruit is one of the richest natural sources of ascorbic acid. As a consequence, acerola fruit and its products are in demand worldwide for the production of health supplements and for the development of functional products. Acerola phenotypes (103) were screened in Western Paraná State, in t...
