Study on the Grading Standards of Gongshui White Pomelo
Scientific grading of fruits is essential for ensuring fruit quality,increasing the added value of fresh fruits,and promoting the development of the industry for Gongshui white pomelo.Gongshui white pomelo is one of the leading agricultural industries in Xuan'en county.This study used 210 randomly selected Gongshui white pomelo fruits as materials for fruit shape index determination,texture analysis,sugar content analysis,correlation analysis,etc.The results showed that there were a significant difference in the weight of the whole fruit and flesh of Gongshui white pomelo,with an average weight of 1 128.64 g and 564.61 g,respectively.The weight distribution of the whole fruit ranged 734-2 178 g,and the weight distribution of the flesh ranged 440-731 g.According to the weight of the whole fruit and flesh,it could be divided into four levels.There was a clear correlation between the weight of the whole fruit,the weight of the flesh,and the transverse diameter,as well as the top distance,bottom distance,middle distance,longitudinal diameter,and sugar content of the fruit skin,which could be used as the main grading criteria.Through research,it was recommended to use the whole fruit weight of Gongshui white pomelo as the main grading index,and the fruit diameter as the second grading index for comprehensive grading.
