Christopher J Clark; Lynley N Drummond; Janet S MacFall Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 1998. doi:10.1002/(sici)1097-0010(199811)78:3<349::aid-jsfa125>3.0.co;2-x
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Both relaxation parameters showed temporal trends and differences among fruit tissues.
- Association Relaxation measures showed no consistent association with sugars, soluble solids, or nutrients.
- Observation Total free sugar concentration in flesh increased 200% after harvest.
- Observation Soluble solids increased 68% after harvest.
- Observation Relaxation times remained unaltered despite compositional changes.
- Observation A second investigation repeated the observations in A arguta fruit.
- Observation In A arguta, SSC increased 125% during 15-day ripening.
- Observation In A arguta, self-diffusion declined 7–14% from harvest values.
- Observation Relaxation was relatively insensitive to organic acid and soluble pectin changes at usual fruit concentrations.
- Method / resource The authors infer MR image relaxation may respond weakly to large composition changes.
