MATURITY STANDARDS OF
FRUITS AN INDICATION A LECTURE
BY MR.ALLAH DAD
KHAN
![Page 3: Maturity standards of fruits A Lecture by Mr Allah Dad Khan Former DG Agri Extension KPK/Visiting Professor the University of Agriculture Peshawar Pakistan](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a6bb7a1a28ab661f8b5cf3/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
MATURITY
It is the stage of fully development of tissue of fruitand vegetables only after which it will ripennormally
During the process of maturation the fruit receivesa regular supply of food material from the plant
When mature, the abscission or corky layer whichforms at the stem end stops this in ow
Afterwards, the fruit depend on its own reserves

MATURITY In addition to this, typical avour and characteristiccolour
also develop It has been determined that the stage of maturity atthe time
of picking in uence the storage life andquality of fruit when picked immature like mango develop whitepatches or
air pockets during ripening and lackingin normal bri acid ratio or sugar acid ratio, tasteand avor
on the other hand if the fruits are harvested overmature or
full ripe they are easy susceptible tomicrobial and physiological spoilage and theirstorage life is considerably reduce

MATURITY !uch fruits persist numerous problems during
handling, storage and transportation "herefore, it is necessary or essential to pick
up thefruits or vegetables at correct stage of maturity tofacilitate proper ripening, distant transportation andminimum storage life
"he postharvest quality of the product is # ed atthe harvest so proper harvesting is necessary
We can have good harvest if we harvest at propertime as the development of the fruits is at laterstage of development
![Page 6: Maturity standards of fruits A Lecture by Mr Allah Dad Khan Former DG Agri Extension KPK/Visiting Professor the University of Agriculture Peshawar Pakistan](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a6bb7a1a28ab661f8b5cf3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MATURITY Fruits harvested too early may lack favor and
maynot ripen Properly deteriorate
while produce harvested too late may be #brous orhave very limited market life %ield may also be lower
Therefore harvesting of fruits and vegetables atproper stage of maturity is of paramount importancefor attaining desirable quality
The maturity has been divided into two categories i&e&physiological maturity and horticultural maturity&

HORTICULTURAL MATURITY/COMMERCIAL MATURITY
Stage of development when plant parts possess thenecessary characteristics preferred by consumers Depends on the intended use e&g& papaya.
Physiolo!ical maturity Applies only to fruits and fruit vegetables and of
development stage Ability to ripen normally after harvest for distant
market and storage, climateric fruits should be harvested at
maturitybefore they are ripe i&e& before climateric rise )on climateric fruits should be harvested at ripestage

IMPORTANCE OF MATURITYINDICES
Maturity indices , harvest indices ,sensory and nutritional quality.
Adequate shelf life Facilitate marketing+ standards Productivity
![Page 9: Maturity standards of fruits A Lecture by Mr Allah Dad Khan Former DG Agri Extension KPK/Visiting Professor the University of Agriculture Peshawar Pakistan](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042706/58a6bb7a1a28ab661f8b5cf3/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MATURITY INDICES SHOULD BE
simple, easy to carry out :b'ective vs sub'ective indicators Eelated to quality Eelated to storage life Eepresents a progressive change
withmaturity Premits prediction of maturity from year
toyear inexpensive

LIMITATIONS OF MATURITY INDICES USES Soil conditions, nutrition, irrigation Season , climate Position on the plant Pruning and other cultural practices and
management practices varieties
