Initially, the achenes (containing seeds or not) extracted from the infructescences (Figure 2A) were rubbed on circular 1.8 and 1.6 diameter sieves (Figure 2C and D) to remove the papus (structure that helps dispersion) and then processed in seed blowers (general model--Elo's) (Figure 2B) to remove impurities.

It is possible that the result may be explained because the authors consider of complete infructescence (unpeeled fruits) in the percentage of the pulp yield, unlike the present work, which considered the fruits without peel.
