This work had for objectives to verify through the characterization of fruits of the bacuri tree of the Area of the North Middle, which the best atmosphere conditions, of times and storage temperatures, to prolong the life post-harvest of the bacuri (Platonia insignis Mart) for commercialization in natura. The fruits picked in the plant, stored under modified atmosphere they presented great appearance it expresses and it interns until the end of the experiment (25 days), while stored them under atmosphere it adapts they had your appearance it expresses committed after the sixth day, however your internal appearance was satisfactory until the end of experiment. A mass loss it was larger in the fruits without film, with losses of up to 47% to the 25 days of storage, against 8% in the fruits with film. The physical-chemical quality of the pulp was little affected during the storage with prominence for the total soluble solids that presented smaller percentile in the fruits with film. The fruits picked in the plant, stored 7 ºC in modified atmosphere they had your appearance it expresses committed after 20 days, for offenses for the cold, while in the temperatures of 9 and 11 ºC useful life was of 36 days. The coloration of the fruits just developed of clear green for yellow in the temperatures of 9 and 11 ºC, and to 11 ºC the coloration reached a larger intensity. The quality of the pulp practically was not affected by the storage temperatures. The fruits been hit after you/they fall of the plant, stored the temperature it adapts and modified atmosphere had your appearance it expresses committed in the nineteenth day of storage and the intern after 21 days, already for the fruits stored under refrigeration and modified atmosphere, the appearance expresses it was committed to the 28 days of storage, in spite of presenting satisfactory internal appearance until the thirtieth fifth day. The mass loss was of 7.74% and 2.17%, in the fruits stored 25 ºC and 12 ºC, respectively. The fruits storage the temperature adapts they had revenue around 16%, while, that the fruits stored under refrigeration the revenue it was of 15%. The values of SST decreased during the storage in the two appraised temperatures. After 35 days of storage to 25 ºC the fruits presented 12.12 ºBrix on average, while to 12 ºC after 42 days of storage presented a value of 11.28 ºBrix. The values of the pH presented little variation through the time in the two storage conditions and the AT obtained larger variation in the storage to 25 ºC. The relationship SST/AT presented considerable variations among I begin him/it and the end in the two storage types, being more intense in the storage the temperature adapts. The fruits presented low tenors of phenolic compounds in all the fractions characterizing the bacuri pulp as little astringent, demonstrating potential so much for consumption in natura, besides little vitamin tenor C, in the two storage conditions.
