Table 1.
Mean (±s.d.) values for sugar and ethanol concentrations within pulp of inspected and either rejected (0% consumed) or partially consumed fruit (25%, 50% and 75% consumed), and for fallen ripe fruits with no spider monkeys present. For the last category, Brix data were available for only four of the six fruits analysed for ethanol content.
| extent of consumed pulp | Brix (°Bx) | ethanol (%; method 1) | ethanol (%; method 2) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0% (N = 28) | 12.81 (1.56) | 1.55 (0.62) | 1.67 (0.64) |
| 25% (N = 68) | 11.82 (1.31) | 1.19 (0.56) | 1.3 (0.63) |
| 50% (N = 11) | 12.79 (2.30) | 1.28 (0.49) | 1.39 (0.55) |
| 75% (N = 2) | 12.75 (1.77) | 1.4 (0.34) | 1.54 (0.42) |
| (fallen ripe fruits) | 13.1 (1.44) | 1.84 (0.35) | 1.91 (0.36) |
