Abstract |
Indian jujube (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk.) is an economic fruit crop and ‘Nomsod’
is a promising new jujube cultivar for production in northeastern Thailand. The fruit is
high in vitamin C content and has a sweet yet slightly acidic taste. However, there is no
scientific information in relation to its quality, especially regarding harvest maturity
under production conditions in Thailand. This study investigated the effect of harvest
time on the quality of Indian jujube ‘Nomsod’; specifically, at 90, 105, 120, and 135 days
after full bloom (DAFB). Fruit growth at 120 DAFB had the highest values for fruit
weight and diameter, fruit width, fruit length, and pulp thickness. L* and b* values
increased during development. The total soluble solids (TSS) concentration increased
to a maximum of 10.40 °Brix at 120 DAFB. Titratable acidity content (TA) and firmness
both increased gradually to 0.26% and 62.65 N, respectively, also at 120 DAFB. The ratio
of TSS/TA at this stage was 40.60. In contrast, the amount of ascorbic acid gradually
decreased until 120 DAFB. It was concluded, therefore, that to achieve a high TSS it is
best to harvest ‘Nomsod’ Indian jujube at 120 DAFB. |
