Summary

FRUITS FROM THORNLESS BLACKBERRY CULTIVARS WERE COMPARED TO DE TERMINE CAUSES OF VARIATION IN DRIP LOSSES DURING THAWING AFTER FROZEN STORAGE. DRIP WAS SIMILAR IN COMPOSITION TO JUICE OBTAINED BY PRESSING. DRIP LOSSES RANGED BETWEEN 1 AND 30%. DRIP LOSSES WERE GREATER IN RIPER SAMPLES BUT DID NOT DEPEND ON FRUIT SIZE. DRIP LOSSES WERE CORRELATED WITH LOW INSOLUBLE PECTIN. MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION REVEALED AN INVERSE RELATION-SHIP BETWEEN THE TENDENCY TO DRIP AND THE EPIDERMAL CELL LAYER THICKNESS.
