Effect of light intensity and dark growing conditions on carotenoid content and composition in peel of ‘Pinalate’ mutant fruit. ‘Pinalate’ fruits grown in dark conditions were covered at immature green stage with black plastic bags (bottom-end open) and harvested in full ripe stage. Light exposed fruits were harvested at full ripe stage from the South oriented side of the canopy tree to maximize the effect of light exposure
