Abstract

An experiment was designed to study the effect of different concentrations of calcium carbide and ethrel.
Fruit ripened with 600 ppm of ethrel had the highest TSS, ascorbic acid content and carotenoids but the least reducing sugars.
The palatibility was the highest in fruits treated with 2 g calcium carbide.
