MEASUREMENT OF FRUIT PEELABILITY IN THE GENUS ACTINIDIA

Abstract: Actinidia (kiwifruit) vary in peeling behavior from “difficult to peel” to “easy to peel.” Thus, the breeding of new cultivars of commercially acceptable kiwifruit with peelable skins is possible. Identification of skin properties conferring peelability and development of a simple, repeatable method for measuring peelability will be critical to the success of breeding programs. We assessed mechanical and biological characteristics of kiwifruit skins with respect to the ease with which fruit could be peeled. Va… Show more

“…On the other hand, greenyellow fruits were at a stage of intermediate peel thickness and pulp softness, which was scored by the panellist particularly suited to peel and consequently process cactus pear as RTE fruits (Table 1). Our results on peelability agreed with data obtained by Harker et al (2011) on kiwifruits. These authors found that the ease of skin detachment was closely related to the ripening process.…”

“…They indicated at least two ways in which ripening of flesh can have an impact on peelability of fruits. Firstly, it reduces the adhesion between the skin and the underlying flesh, and secondly it allows a discontinuity to develop between the soft flesh and the tougher skin (Harker et al 2011). Besides, these authors found a correlation between firmness and peelability, for which softer fruit peeled better than firmer fruit.…”

“…This might account for the lower peel elasticity measured in this genotype [30] and the easy tearing and fragmentation of this tissue upon detachment. Gel strength and ultimately cell adhesion is influenced by the overall length of HG.…”

“…New methods for precise evaluation of vegetables and fruits were proposed (Barikloo & Ahmadi, ; Boonmung, Chomtee, & Kanlayasiri, ; Camps, Guillermin, Mauget, & Bertrand, ; Dan et al, ; De Oliveira, Corrêa, Botelho, & De Oliveira, ; Desmet, Lammertyn, Verlinden, & Nicolaï, ; Kabas & Ozmerzi, ; Lana, Tijskens, De Theije, Dekker, & Barrett, ; Maury et al, ; Park, Chun, Lee, Lee, & Kim, ; Puangsombut, Pathaveerat, Terdwongworakul, & Puangsombut, ; Solomon & Jindal, ; Terdwongworakul, Puangsombat, & Pathaveerat, ; Trnka, Pavloušek, Medomoca, & Buchar, ; Valero et al, ; Vandenberghe & Claes, ; Vincent, Saunders, & Beyts, ). A specified part of vegetable and fruits, such as single cells from tomato pericarp (Wang, Pritchard, & Thomas, ), cell walls of carrot and potato (Zdunek & Umeda, ), carrot cell walls (Kurita & Masuda, ), epidermal tissue of onion (Hepworth & Bruce, ), and kiwi peelability (Harker, Hallett, White, & Seal, ) were also investigated.…”
