چكيده لاتين :
This laboratory experiment was carried out at the Department of Agricultural Technology,
Mahasarakham University, Northeast Thailand during June to October 2007. The experiment aimed to search
for the most appropriate harvesting age of fruits of Santol orchard plants with respect to colour, tissue texture,
total soluble solid content, titratable acidity and pH of Santol fruits. A Randomised Complete Block Design
(ReBD) with four replications was used. Each replication consisted of 10 fruits, thus a total of 160 fruits were
used. The Santol fruits were harvested at different ages, i.e., 100, 115, 130 and 145 days after full bloom of
flowers and these harvested ages were used as treatments, i.e., 100 for T1 (Control), 115 for Tb 130 for T3 and
145 for T4. The results showed that the most appropriate harvesting date for high quality Santol fruits was
found with T4, i.e., 145 days after full bloom of flowers where Santol fruits of T4 gave the highest mean values
of fruit length, diameter, fresh weight fruieי of 10.71 em, 9.31 em and 399.76 g, respectively. Yellowuess of skin
colour of fruits was evenly distributed. Total soluble solid content of pericarp, flesh tissue and seeds were
highest for T, with mean values of 13.93, 15.05 and 18.26י brix, respectively. Flesh texture density highly
decreased with an increase in mnnbers of days after full bloom of flowers. Titratable acidity content in fruits
was highly decreased with an increase in mnnbers of days after full bloom of flowers whereas a reverse was
found with pH of fruit juices.
