“…This result in general revealed that there was a considerable difference in ascorbic acid content among peach varieties (Table 2). The synthesis of ascorbic acid content in fruit depends upon a su cient supply of hexose Sugar, which declines at the ripening stage and might be due to a diminishing in acidity that would be attributed to the oxidation of ascorbic acid [33]. Comparably, [26] reported statistically signi cant variations in the vitamin C content of peach varieties.…”

Holetta has different peach fruit varieties that could be used for various purposes. However, their fruit quality characteristics were not fully identified. Studies have indicated that the physicochemical qualities of peach fruits are influenced by a number of factors, with the varietal factor being one of the most important. Limited information regarding the factors that affect these qualities is available in the country, specifically at Holetta. Therefore, this study was initiated to evaluate the physicochemical quality properties of peach fruit varieties. Their physical quality traits such as fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit shape index, and average fruit weight, as well as chemical quality parameters like TSS, specific gravity, TA, ripening index, ascorbic acid content, and pH, were evaluated. The result revealed that both physical and chemical quality parameters were significantly affected by varietal factors. Amongst, Bonny Gold variety had the longest fruit length and Florida down had the largest fruit diameter. As far as average fruit weight is concerned, 88 − 18 W had the heaviest weight with 111.98 g, while Transvalia had the highest TSS and specific gravity. However, the Summersun and 9A-35C varieties recorded the highest TA and ripening index, respectively. Thus, the fruit’s physicochemical quality properties were highly altered with peach varieties.
