✦ Synopsis
Size, firmness, soluble solids content, sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose), starch. total acidity. organic acids (quinic, malic, and citric), vitamin C. and ash were determined in samples of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa (A.Chev.) C. F. Liang and A. R. Ferguson) collected at 20 -day intervals from fruit-set to harvest. In the young fruit, starch was the main component which disappeared in harvest concurrently with the increased sugars and soluble solids content. The variables studied evolved very similarly in both seasons. c 1993 Academic Press. Inc.
