Abstract

The physical properties of the fruit of 14 Asian peach cultivars were measured at eating maturity and compared with 4 commercial American cultivars. Asian peaches had lower percent overcolour and lower pH values. Differences in texture and firmness were found for the Asian cultivars. Sugar levels as measured by soluble solids ranged between 9 and 14% and were similar to the American cultivars.
