- W2116850338 abstract "The time course and pattern of fruit growth, and changes in physical and physiological properties and texture dynamics of pomegranate fruit (cvs. „Bhagwa‟ and „Ruby‟) were studied over two seasons under South African agro-climatic conditions. Significant variations in fruit growth, respiration rate and physico-textural properties of fruit were found at five maturity stages (S1-S5). Fruit lineal dimensions (length and diameter) and weight exhibited a linear growth pattern. All fruit cultivars showed a decline in respiration rate during fruit development, with the highest respiration rate measured in immature fruit („Bhagwa‟, 66.83 mL CO2 kg -1 h -1 ; „Ruby‟, 51.17 mL CO2 kg -1 h -1 ) and minimum rates in fully ripe fruit („Bhagwa‟, 23.84 mL CO2 kg -1 h -1 ; „Ruby‟, 19.16 mL CO2 kg -1 h -1 ). No ethylene gas was detected throughout fruit development. Fruit pigmentation increased with advancing maturity and the lowest total colour difference (TCD) between fruit peel and arils was noted in immature fruit. Aril yield remained less than 50% until the middle of the season (S3), and increased until commercial harvest for „Ruby‟, but remained below 50% throughout the season for „Bhagwa‟. Fruit peel thickness increased with advancing maturity as the cells underwent periclinal growth, while fruit calyx opening reduced significantly (p<0.05) with advancing maturity for both cultivars. The kernel index (KI=kernel weight/aril weight) ranged from 20.72 (S1) 13.46% (S5) for „Bhagwa‟ and from 19.21 (S1) 11.83% (S5) for „Ruby‟. This study showed that textural dynamics of pomegranate fruit peel and arils change with fruit maturity. Textural dynamics of aril revealed increasing trend in bioyield force and elasticity with advancing maturity. The results indicated that fruit reached mature stage between the 132 139 DAFB for „Ruby‟ and 140165 DAFB for „Bhagwa‟. This period could be regarded as the physiological mature stage of the fruit for the investigated cultivars. These findings could be used as a tool to assist growers in assessing fruit readiness for harvest." @default.
