Description
Summary:This study was conducted to characterize physical, chemicaland physiologically the development of maturation of fruitnative pineapple cv. India, kept fresh at 20°C. During the fruitrnaturation, the respiratory intensity did not have any incrcase,which allowed to classify the fruit as non climacteric. Thisbehavior was accompanied by loss of weight, decrease ofconsistency of edible fruit portion, increase in organic acids,acidity and sugars and decrease in soluble solids and pH.The quality analysis showed loss of organolepticcharacteristics that make desirable the fruit, like appearance,flavor and color.
