“…Fruit of this cultivar has relatively large size (average = 255.2 g) with over 12% soluble solids content. 17 'Early Rich', 'Elegant Lady', 'Royal Glory', and 'Sweet Dream' have higher yield than many other cultivars. Although the first comprehensive studies of peach volatile production were performed about 50 years ago, 18 no studies on the relationships between volatile production, standard quality, and sensory evaluation in cold-stored peaches have been previously published in the literature to our knowledge.…”

“…Most postharvest studies on this variety have been concerned with the development of rot, − the effects of water stress on fruit quality, or the quality of fresh-cut peach. , ‘Sweet Dream’ has red to dark maroon color skin and yellow with red blush flesh color. Fruit of this cultivar has relatively large size (average = 255.2 g) with over 12% soluble solids content . ‘Early Rich’, ‘Elegant Lady’, ‘Royal Glory’, and ‘Sweet Dream’ have higher yield than many other cultivars.…”

'Early Rich', 'Royal Glory', 'Sweet Dream(cov)', and 'Elegant Lady' peaches were stored at -0.5 °C for up to 40 days and then subjected to ripening at 20 °C for up to 3 days. Firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), color, consumer acceptance, and volatile compounds were then determined. The observed physicochemical changes included a significant decrease in firmness during both storage and commercialization periods. In contrast, the SSC, TA, and color remained constant during storage. Ten days of cold storage produced the highest total volatile emissions and the greatest consumer acceptance for 'Elegant Lady' and 'Sweet Dream(cov)', whereas similar results were obtained after 40 and 20 days for 'Royal Glory' and 'Early Rich', respectively. Volatile compounds that most consistently exhibited a positive correlation with consumer acceptance were dependent on the cultivar.

“…No package types were acceptable immediately after testing for nonmelting flesh peaches. However, nonmelting flesh peaches in all package types remained acceptable at the 24‐h measurement, which was unexpected, likely due to the use of the ‘Zee Lady’ cultivar, which is known to be resilient in the shipping environment (Figure 10) [51].…”

The direct‐to‐consumer (D2C) shipping mode presents new opportunity for fresh peach sales in North America where demand over the past four decades has steadily declined. The hazards in this distribution mode are severe, and fresh peaches are fragile emphasizing the need for proper protection. A full analysis that not only encompasses the effects of the D2C distribution environment but also incorporates analyses of the environmental and economic impact of the packages utilized for transit of peaches is necessary. In this study, we use the metrics of peach grade, firmness, soluble solids concentration and percent softness before and after the distribution simulation to compare the protective performance of six DTC packaging systems. All six packages consist of a single layer corrugated box with varying primary packaging. A life cycle analysis of each package system is performed as well as an economic analysis on the packaged materials and cost to ship. We conclude that peach damage in shock testing is related to the freedom of movement that peaches have within each package type and varies by package system. All the package types evaluated amplify input vibration in the frequency range commonly associated with the input from the tires of truck‐trailer systems. There are no statistical differences between package systems in the distribution simulation of the six package types except in peach softness and grade of melting flesh peaches. Finally, we found that a reduction in material use and change in format, that is, foam sheets to foam netting, provides for sufficient peach protection while reducing environmental and economic impact.

“…Most fruit quality studies in peach have focused on individual quality characteristics such as texture, aroma, color, size, sugar concentration, and acidity (Contador et al, 2015;Crisosto and Crisosto, 2005;Fallahi et al, 2009aFallahi et al, , 2009bVisai and Vanoli, 1997). A collection of observable quality descriptors for individual cultivars is yet to be established for the southeastern United States.…”

Peach (Prunus persica) production in the southeastern United States extends from mid-May to mid-September. There are ≈60 peach cultivars commercially grown. Each cultivar has unique fruit quality characteristics, which could influence consumer perception and likability. The present study is a survey of chemical and physical characteristics of mature, commercially grown, fresh peaches in Georgia. A collection of 30 cultivars was evaluated in 2015 and 2016 for soluble solids concentration (SSC), total titratable acidity (TTA), SSC/TTA ratio, texture (compression, puncture, and Kramer shear), and skin and flesh color (CIE L*, chroma, and hue color space values). There was significant variation between seasons for all variables (P < 0.05) except for TTA (P = 0.12), and flesh hue values (P = 0.38). Statistical differences among cultivars within each year were reported for all variables (P < 0.0001). SSC showed variation seasonally and among cultivars, whereas TTA variation was mainly attributed to cultivar differences. Similarly, cultivar-to-cultivar differences were found when comparing the different texture tests evaluated with cultivars such as Goldprince, Early August Prince, Flameprince, Majestic, and Red Globe having the most variation between seasons. Other cultivars analyzed had little variation between seasons. Moreover, firmness differences observed across the three texture tests were inconsistent. In peach skin color, significant variation was observed for L*, chroma, and hue among cultivars. Skin hue and chroma were highly correlated within each season (r = 0.77 for 2015, r = 0.72 for 2016). The results of this survey demonstrate the variation of quality characteristics for a large selection of peach cultivars grown in Georgia. The information reported in this paper will be used as a baseline for further examining and understanding peach fruit quality.
