Title: Quality evaluation of different middle and late maturity honey peach cultivars
Abstract: In order to adjust to the peach structure,extend the supply period and choose suitable varieties for production area in Zhejiang Province,six middle and late maturity honey cultivars,including 'Qingshuibaitao','Qiubaitao','Huangjintao' and 'Xinchuanzhongdaobaitao' introduced from Japan,and other two Chinese cultivars 'Qiuyulu' and 'Xumi' were evaluated,based on their size,mass,firmness,total soluble solids,titratable acid,soluble sugar,organic acid and key aroma components.Two main varieties of yellow-fleshed 'Jinxiuhuangtao' and white-fleshed 'Fenghuayulu' were used as control.Meanwhile,the biological characteristics of each cultivar also were commented during the flowering and fruit development periods.The results showed that 'Huangjintao' was better than 'Jinxiuhuangtao' in flavor qualities,which had the higher soluble solids,total aroma content and lower titration acids,however,the former maybe experience late-frost at the flowering stage.Three white-fleshed cultivars from Japan were better in the fruit mass,total soluble solids / acid ratio and storage character.Especially,the fragrance of 'Qingshuibaitao' was the strongest.Two domestic cultivars 'Xumi' and 'Qiuyulu' had obvious advantages in the fruit mass and storage characteristic compared with the cultivar 'Fenghuayulu',and other flavor qualities had no significant differences.However,'Xumi' was more coarse in texture.
