Abstract:

This study mainly analyzes the quality of different pomelo varieties in Pingyang County, and comprehensively evaluates the quality of pomelo, aiming to provide basic theoretical support for the breeding of local pomelo varieties, resource protection and quality improvement. The results showed that the appearance of the four varieties of pomelo was close to round, and the peel of Wendan pomelo was the thickest, the number of seeds was the largest, and the edible rate was the lowest. The white-fleshed pomelo had the thinnest peel, the least number of seeds, and the highest edible rate. From the perspective of the internal quality of the fruit, Wendan pomelo had the most advantages in sugar-acid ratio and vitamin C content, followed by yellow-fleshed pomelo, and the related quality of red-fleshed pomelo was poor. Based on comprehensive analysis, it can be concluded that the comprehensive quality of the fruit of Wendan pomelo is the best, and it is a suitable variety for expanding cultivation and promoting utilization in the local area.
