Notes:
Minolta “a” values, SS/TA ratio, sucrose, total sugar contents, and sweet sensory scores increased significantly with increased degree of maturity of unripened peaches. Firmness, Minolta “L” values, hue angle, TA, sorbitol, green and sour flavor attributes, and peach complex and fruity/ester aromas decreased significantly with maturity. Maturity 1 and 2 peaches stored for 8 wk at 0° C and subsequently ripened showed no significant change in physical characteristics except for firmness which increased at 8 wk storage. Maturity 1 and 2 peaches could be ripened at 20° C for up to 15 days and stored at 0° C for 8 wk without notable change in quality.
