Investigation of postharvest and eating qualities likely to influence acceptability of matooke banana cultivars to be introduced in Uganda.

ABSTRACT :

 

Using the repertory grid method, sensory evaluation and questionnaires, quality attributes of matooke (steamed or boiled cooking) bananas in Uganda were described by farmer-consumers and traders. This information will provide guidelines for plant breeders who are currently selecting disease resistant matooke clones. The important fruit quality attributes fell into the following categories: (1) size attributes, which included bunch size, length and compactness, and finger size and length; (2) texture attributes, including softness, stickiness, lumpiness, solidity and crumbliness; (3) appearance attributes, including colour of cooked product (both intensity and uniformity) and sheen of the fingers; (4) flavour attributes, including sweetness, astringency and aroma of the cooked product; and (5) agronomic attributes, including growth period and attainment of acceptable eating quality at an early stage of development.
