In this research, several physico-chemical properties
and
mineral contents of one earliest (May 19) sweet cherry type
grown in Konya region were determined. The results in terms
of chemical properties were
total
soluble solids,
18.33
mg/100 g;
pH,
3.86;
color,
S41P50E41;
texture,
0.25 kg/cm2;
and
juice yield, 66.28%.
The evaluation
of the total weighted rankit scores in terms of the fruit
taste,
aroma, adherence of pulp,
appearance, bigness, preferable, yield, market preference
were 7.33, 8.44, 7.44, 9.22, 8.44, 7.55, 8.22, 10.00 and
8.33, respectively.
The
results of physical properties were fruit mass, 2.76 g;
flesh/seed ratio, length, 17.68 mm; width, 15.60 mm;
thickness, 14.89 mm; sphericity, 90.46%; aspect ratio,
88.26%; and true density, 1024.63 kg/m3.
Key
words:
Sweet cherry, physico-chemical properties, nutritional
properties. |
