Description Guava fruits of the variety Safeda (Allahabad)
were examined at 10-day intervals during
initial growth and at 5-day intervals
during ripening in 1964-66 for physical
and chemical changes during development.
The period from fruit set to full ripe stage
was covered. The growth curve as shown
by fruit weight was of sigmoid type. Fruit
length-width ratio, specific gravity, colour
and firmness showed marked changes
during development. Soluble solids, sugars,
titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and total
pectins showed peaks just before fruit drop.
All chemical constituents showed consistent
patterns of change during fruit development
suggesting several discrete physiological
stages; viz., prematuration, maturation,
ripening and senescence.
