Fresh Market Consumption — Japanese Plum

Prunus salicina Lindl.

The Japanese plum is primarily a dessert crop, valued for the juiciness, sweet taste, and high transportability of its glossy-skinned fruits.

In the reference 80 varieties crop Japanese plum, where this is mentioned in the description.

Fruits of the Japanese plum possess specific organoleptic properties, including a sweet taste with a slight acidity and a distinct peach or melon aroma. The fruit structure is characterized by a glossy skin ranging from yellow to purple shades and juicy flesh, which in a number of varieties has a bright red color.

An important quality for fresh market sales is high transportability, ensured by the dense and thick skin of the fruits. To assess suitability for consumption, a quality index is used, which combines indicators of fruit firmness and the concentration of soluble solids, while also taking into account critical damage thresholds during harvesting.
