Postharvest Sensory and Phenolic Characterization of ’Elegant Lady’ and ’Carson’ Peaches

High quality fruits are increasingly demanded along with the need to ensure this attribute to consumers. Thus, this study was aimed at characterizing a melting (’Elegant Lady’) and a non-melting flesh (’Carson’) peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch) varieties by...

Fruit weight, flesh firmness, soluble solid content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), and background color (Hue) were recorded at each stage.
