Fruit acidity — Japanese plum

Prunus salicina Lindl.

An important biochemical quality indicator for the Japanese plum, which determines taste and suitability for processing. It reflects the balance of organic acids and sugars, changing during the fruit ripening process.

In the reference 13 varieties crop Japanese plum, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Japanese plum fruits, titratable acidity is a key varietal trait, most often ranging from 1.3% to 2.2%. The content of free organic acids, primarily malic and citric, directly determines the consumer assessment of the taste, which is characterized as sweet and sour at this balance.

The ratio of sugars to acids, expressed as the sugar-acid index, serves as a determining factor in choosing the end use of the harvest: fruits with balanced indicators are preferred for fresh consumption, while more acidic varieties are better suited for industrial processing. Monitoring the dynamics of acidity reduction during the ripening process allows for the precise determination of optimal harvest dates.
