Abstract
The aimed of this work was to investigate the effects of maturity stages on the physicochemical characteristics of bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) which were cultivated in Recife-PE. During one year, the fruits were harvested from five different trees (unidentified variety) in mature and half-mature stages. They were analysed on total soluble solids (TSS), oxalic acid and vitamin C. Ripe fruits had the highest levels of TSS and vitamin C and lowest levels of oxalic acid, independently of weather conditions. The results showed that maturity stage influenced on physicochemical characteristics of bilimbi fruits.

Summary
The aimed of this work was to investigate the effects of maturity stages on the physicochemical characteristics of bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi L.) which were cultivated in Recife-PE. Termos para indexação: Averrhoa bilimbi L., características físico-químicas, estádio de maturação. The fruit juice has high levels of oxalic acid, and may the canopy, in the morning and cleaned. The chemical composition of the same strain results were expressed in g oxalic acid per 100g of fruit juice by of edible plants grown in different parts of the world may be using 0.045 as factor.
