Using this procedure, there was a decrease in respiration rate with less loss in fruit weight. There was less decay and the color development was similar to fruit treated by continuous degreening. 

The pomegranate tree, which is said to have flourished in the Garden of Eden, has been extensively used as a folk medicine in many cultures.17-18 Edible parts of pomegranate fruits (about 50% of total fruit weight) comprise 80% juice and 20% seeds. Fresh juice contains 85% moisture, 10% total sugars, 1.5% pectin, ascorbic acid, and polyphenols.

Phenolic compounds are major contributors to the delicate and slightly astringent flavor of walnut fruits [21]. They are mostly found in a special protective tan-brown skin known as the pellicle that surrounds the kernel. Despite the small amount of this thin cover (5% of the fruit weight), it is rich... 

KGM and quatemized poly(4-vinyl-iV-butyl) pyridine (QPVP) were miscible when the content of QPVP was less than 30 wt% or in excess of 70 wt%, as confirmed by SEM and XRD [51]. The thermal stability and tensile strength of the films were reduced with increasing content of QPVP, but the elongation at break was the highest at QPVP content of 30 wt%. FTIR indicated that the electrostatic interaction of QPVP and KGM impaired the partial hydrogen bond interaction of KGM. The blend films were able to decrease the lychee fruit weight loss rate and rot rate.

The seed represents about 10% of the fruit weight. Four cultivars in Israel were analyzed for their organic and inorganic constituents. The following ranges in values were obtained on the four cultivars on a dry weight basis oil (7.9-8.4%), protein (5.3-5.8%), ash (0.5-1.7%) and crude fiber (15.1-17.3%). The low protein content and the high fiber content will seriously limit the use of the defatted date seed meal for feeds if not supplemented (Devshony et al., 1992). 

Three varieties of the oil palm have been recognised in the wild, according to fruit type dura (thin flesh, thick hard shell), pisifera (thick flesh, little or no shell) and tenera (thick flesh, intermediate shell). The tenera is a natural cross of the dura and pisifera varieties. Nearly all the plantation crop consists of the tenera variety produced by controlled fertilisation of carefully selected parents. As a result, the productivity of the palm in terms of fruit weight per hectare, oil content of fruit and... 

Balick and Gershoff (1981) noted appreciable variability in the size of fruit, for example the length measured 2.1-3.9cm. Rajanaidu et al. (1991) noted signiflcant differences in fruit weight, nut weight and meso-carp to fruit ratio between populations in two sites in Colombia. The... 

One analysis of nine ecotypes from different sites found kernels varying from 5 to 11.5 g. Another analysis of fruit from a number of individual trees in three locations found fruit weights of 20-80g, with nuts weighing 7.2-19.5 g. Each fruit generally contains three seeds. The oil content of the kernels varies from 41 to 55%. The yield of adult trees is 150-200 kg...

Increase in fruit weight by 3—5% less damaged fruits (19—23%) due to sunburn and cracking higher firmness and acidity in fruits, indicating extension in fruits maturity.
