Acidity and sweetness in apple and pear
@article{Visser2004AcidityAS, title={Acidity and sweetness in apple and pear}, author={Trudy A. Visser and Adriaan Anton Schaap and D. P. de Vries}, journal={Euphytica}, year={2004}, volume={17}, pages={153-167} }
SummarySweetness and acidity in apple and pear inherit independently and can be organoleptically evaluated separately, but less accurately in pear than in apple. For breeding purposes an analysis of fruits for acidity and sweetness with pH indicator paper and a hand refractometer is to be prefered to the organoleptic method.In apple, the acidity-decreasing with time-of the unripe fruit was already strongly indicative of that of the eating-ripe fruit; sugar-increasing with time-not before the…
