Abstract
This study was conducted to determine some physicochemical and mineral compositions of mulberryfruit at different harvest dates during a harvest season. The study was carried out on 25-year-old mulberry treesbelonging to Morus alba L. cultivated in an orchard in Upper Coruh valley of Turkey in 2005 and 2006. Fruit size,total soluble solid (TSS), fruit dry yield (FDY), color (L, a, b) of fruits varied between 2.32-3.18 g, 24.07-31.33%,27.10-31.33%, 36.41-51.74, 4.42-8.20, 23.66-28.42, respectively. As the mineral compositions of mulberry fruit,3.10-3.36 g 100g-1 N, 0.298-0.417 g 100g-1 P, 1.82-2.12 g 100g-1 K, 2.63-2.93 g 100g-1 Ca, 0.593-0.723 g 100g-1 Mg,0.180-0.325 g 100g-1 S, 63.7-71.2 mg kg -1 Na, 114.3-126.3 mg kg -1 Fe, 69.8-76.8 mg kg -1 Mn, 29.0-36.2 mg kg -1Zn, and 11.2-17.2 mg kg -1 Cu were determined. As a result, TSS, FDY, K, Ca, Mg, S and Zn minerals of the fruitwere determined to increase towards the end of the harvest season.
