Notes:
Several varieties of fresh peaches at three maturity levels were subjected to bulk compression using a specially constructed apparatus. The texture notes of hardness, elasticity, graininess, and dry-moist mouthfeel were evaluated by a sensory panel. In an effort to determine if bulk compression may be used to evaluate texture in peaches a correlation analysis was performed on the instrumental and sensory data. It was found that hardness and elasticity were positively correlated with the bulk modulus and that the mouthfeel score showed a negative correlation with the modulus value.
