Abstract
Jujube fruits of cv. Zaytoni were dipped in ethephon solutions of 0, 2 50, 500, 1000 or 1500 ppm. At 500 ppm total soluble solids and ascorbi c acid content were significantly increased, whereas titratable acids were significantly decreased, and ripening was advanced by six days co mpared with controls.
