Color characteristics of fruit were measured on the 7th, 14th,
21st and 28th days of the storage period. The measurements were
taken from the same fruit at each time. The color characteristics
were determined with a colorimeter (Minolta, model CR–400,
Tokyo, Japan) from three different points on the equatorial section
of fruit skin. The CIE L*, a* and b* values of fruit skin color were
determined.
