Overview

The dynamic changes of fruit development and pulp inclusion of Sapindus mukorossi were studied. The results showed that the development process of fruit vertical diameter, transverse diameter, side diameter and fresh weight presented an obvious Sigmoid growth curve. The mathematical models of fruit growth and development were built by using development period as X-axis, and using respective mean of fruit traits as Y-axis. Meanwhile, the models were proved available to reflect the change rule, because the fruit growth traits highly correlated with development periods. The change rules of fruit drop, pulp water content, pulp soluble sugar content and pulp saponin content were analyzed comprehensively. The result indicated that the fruits matured and the growth traits tended towards stability in later October, and the pulp water content and soluble sugar content decreased from peak to relatively low levels. However, the pulp saponin content was relatively high at the same time. So the suitable period for fruit h
