Abstract
Clingstone peaches (cultivars Babygold 5 and 7) ranging in maturity from unripe to over-ripe were classified according to flesh color into 10 maturity groups, using a Hunterlab D25P Color Difference Meter. The canned peach halves were graded on the basis of color. texture and flavor by an expert panel. Maturity affected the quality of the canned peach halves. Canning improved the color of unripe peaches. The maturity groups giving the best quality canned products were those with Hunter aL readings of 4.0 to 6.0 for the raw flesh color of Babygold 5 and 10.0 to 12.0 for that of Babygold 7. The average drained weight of canned halves of the less mature peaches was lower than that of the more mature.
