Respiration rate was measured in each lot and colour and
firmness individually in each fruit. Then, the pulp of each lot
was cut in small pieces and combined to obtain a homogeneous
sample from each lot, from which 5 g was used to
quantify total acidity (TA) and TSS in duplicate and the
remaining, frozen in liquid N2, milled, and stored at −20 °C
for total phenolics, total anthocyanins and total antioxidant
activity determinations with all of them made also in
duplicate for each of the three replicates.
