agro-industrial development, technological pathways, raw materials, level of technological maturityAbstract
Soursop (Annona muricata L.) is a tropical fruit of agro-industrial interest due to its nutritional value and bioactive compound content. Its use is concentrated on the fresh market, generating waste such as seeds, peels, and leaves that can be used to develop products. The objective of this work was to develop a matrix of technologies and products obtained from soursop for industrial purposes, considering raw materials, unit operations, processing conditions, technology readiness levels (TRLs), and resulting products. The information was compiled through a partial application of the PRISMA methodology, using publications available in Scopus and Web of Science. The results showed that most of the identified technologies are at TRL levels 3 and 4, corresponding to stages of development and validation, and have not yet reached widespread industrialization. The matrix allowed for the identification of alternatives for utilizing parts of the plant, such as fruit, pulp, leaves, inflorescences, peels, and seeds, including co-products and waste. The unit operations include washing, pulping, dehydration, grinding, filtration, and extraction. These allow for the production of value-added products such as functional infusions, starches, phytochemical extracts, nanoparticles, and cellulose nanofibers. Cartridge filtration and concentration systems were used at an operational frequency of 25%. Finally, the matrix allows prioritizing technological routes for the comprehensive use of soursop, considering unit operations, processing conditions, products obtained and levels of technological maturity.
