Size, yield and composition of CDTA-soluble pectin in ‘Royal Gala’ and ‘Scifresh’ fruit during development. Molecular weight distribution (A-D), yield and uronic acid (UA) content (E) of CDTA-soluble pectin in ‘Royal Gala’ (RG) and ‘Scifresh’ (SF). Fruitlet: 40 DAFB; Expanding fruit: 70 DAFB; Mature fruit: 120 DAFB (RG) 140 DAFB (SF); Ripe fruit: 20 weeks at 0.5°C. Yields in (E) are means of 3 extractions ± standard deviation; UA values are the mean of 3 CDTA extracts with duplicate assays ± standard deviation.
