Abstract
:
Physical and chemical changes of prickly pear fruit trees grown in Taif (AI-Hada) area were studied during the seasons of 1988/89and 1989/ 90, from fruit set till ripening. The results indicated that a period of98 to 105 days following fruit set was needed for prickly pear fruit to reach ripening where it takes a characteristic of S-shape curve. The different characteristics increase was gradual during the first 4 weeks, followed by a fast development stage that lasted 7 weeks, and reached the full development after 3-4 weeks. Pulp percentage as related to fruit weight was 60.45%, but the peel thickness was thin. The result showed that the average fruit weight, TSS, acidity, vitamin C and moisture content were 94.11 g, 10.35%,0.2%, 45.53 mg/100 g fruit and 76.95%, respectively.
