Abstract
It is important to determine harvesting period of jujube fruit.
Some indexes in relation to jujube quality were determined by plant physiological methods at different stages in 2007. From 29 August to 24 September, the total vitamin C contents of Jinchangyihao and Junzao decreased and Hupingzao and Lizao increased.
The contents of soluble sugar, reducing sugar, raw fiber, acid and ratio of sugar to acid increased and water content decreased during experimental period.
The quality of jujube fruit gradually improved during maturity.
For sake of nutritive values, Jinchangyihao, Junzao and Hupingzao should be picked between 29 August and 24 September and Lizao should be picked after 24 September in Taiyuan, Shanxi.
