Abstract
A total of 23 cultivars of apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach and plum available on the retail market in Sydney, Australia during the summer of 1981–82 were analysed and data are presented for water, protein, fat, sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose), starch, dietary fibre, organic acids (malic, citric, quinic, shikimic and oxalic acids), ash, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, vitamin C, α‐carotene, β‐carotene, thiamin, riboflavin niacin, soluble solids, respiration rate and titratable acidity. Edible weight and energy were calculated. Data were compared with various national food composition tables.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
