| Abstract | : | Background and Objective: Wood-apple is a fruit plant of many benefits, i.e., as ingredients in beverage and food, medication, rootstock for citrus plant and building material. Unlike fruit in general, fruit maturity of wood-apple is not followed by a visual color change as an indicator of maturity. The research objective was to study the morphological and physiological changes du ring the growth and development of wood-apple fruit, so it can be used t o determine the harvesting time of the fruit to obtain high qua lity. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted by observing the growth and fruit devel opment wood-apple, beginning from anthesis until the fruit mature. The experimental design used was a comp letely randomized design consisting of nine fruit ages of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 months after anthesis and mature fruit exactly detached fr om the tree, hereinafter called the fallen mature fruit. Data w ere analyzed by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and followed by DMRT. Results: Weights and fruit diameter increased during growth and fruit development, from anthesis until 6 months after anthesis and st opped increasing until the mature fruit fell off the three. Similarly rind thickness and weight of the rind and flesh of fruit and seed we ight also increased and reached a maximum at the age of 6 month s after anthesis. Total sugar content and total soluble solids of fruit flesh increased in line with the increasing age of the fruit a nd reached a maximum when the mature fruit detached from the three. In contrast phenolic content decreased with increasing age of the fruit and reached a minimum at the time of fallen mature fruit. Conclusion: Wood-apple fruit maturity occurred when the mature fruit exactl y detached from the tree or called the fallen mature fruit at age 8.25-8.75 months after anthesis. |
