Abstract
The physical properties of the fruit of 14 Asian peach cultivars were measured at eating maturity and compared with 4 commercial American cu ltivars. Asian peaches had lower percent overcolour and lower DH value s. Differences in texture and firmness were found for the Asian cultiv ars. Sugar levels as measured by soluble solids ranged between 9 and 1 4% and were similar to the American cultivars.
