Method for Determining Fruit Harvesting Maturity

Abstract: Accurate identification of fruit harvest timing is quite a complicated issue. We know several methods of determining harvest maturity in climacteric fruits; these include measurement of: firmness, total solids contents, respiration rate, ethylene emission measurement as well starch tests. On the other hand non-climacteric fruits (no collective maturity phase) are identified as suitable for harvesting by evaluating their colour. The first three aforementioned basic methods can be combined into a single tool, th… Show more

“…In this context, numerous studies have been performed to assess fruit harvesting time and to study the evolution of the pigments along the maturation process [13]. The most visible and frequent change in maturing fruits is the loss of green colour due to chlorophyll degradation.…”
