Abstract:
Fruit color, including the distribution of various color shades in fruits of the same cultivar, and the anthocyanin and chlorophyll levels in the fruit peel of different eggplant cultivars were examined. Considerable differences in pigment level were recorded both for different cultivars and for the various color shades of fruits from the same cultivar. The importance of detemining the anthocyanin level when evaluating and comparing cultivars is discussed. © 1976 Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company, Amsterdam.
