Kaew Luem Rung had the highest (P < 0.05) TSS values for both
fresh and purée samples (Table 3), whereas all other cultivars were
not significantly different in TSS content. Panelists perceived Kaew
Luem Rung purée to be high in sweetness, which was consistent
with TSS measurements; however, they found fresh Nam Dok Mai
to be sweeter (P < 0.05) than fresh KaewLuem Rung (Table 2),
which may result from the association of sweetness with fresh Nam
Dok Mai’s fruit-related characteristics (Bonnans & Noble, 1993).
Although processing had no significant effect on TSS for any of the
cultivars (Table 3), panelists detected higher intensity (P < 0.05) of
sweetness in purées compared to fresh samples for Chok Anun,
