Abstract

Basic dimensional, frictional and color properties of four quince cultivars, namely ‘Kış Ayvası’, ‘Anzav Dere’, ‘Ekmek Ayvası’ and ‘Ecem’, were determined in this study. Physical features, namely length, width, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio, surface area, projected area, volume, mass, static coefficient of friction on aluminum, plywood and steel surfaces, and color features such as L*, a*, b*, hue angle, and chroma were determined and compared for the quince cultivars. The differences among the cultivars were statistically significant in terms of most properties investigated. The values of length, width, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, and fruit mass of four quince cultivars were established between 75.32–91.68 mm, 68.56–90.53 mm, 70.72–90.88 mm, 94.02–99.18 %, and 175.12–329.44 g., respectively. The highest static coefficient of friction (0.47) has observed for aluminum surface as the lowest static coefficient of friction (0.23) has observed for steel surface.

Zusammenfassung

In dieser Untersuchung wurden für die Quittensorten ‘Kış Ayvası’, ‘Anzav Dere’, ‘Ekmek Ayvası’ und ‘Ecem’ Grundmaße, das Reibungsverhalten und die Farbe der Früchte bestimmt. Äußerliche Merkmale, wie Länge, Breite, der geometrische Mittelwert des Durchmessers, die runde Form, das Verhältnis von Länge zu Breite, die Oberfläche, die Projektionsfläche, die Größe, die Einwaage, der statische Reibungskoeffizient auf Aluminium-, Sperrholz- und Stahloberflächen sowie die L*a*b*-Farbwerte bezüglich Farbton und –sättigung wurden ermittelt und verglichen. Bei den meisten untersuchten Eigenschaften gab es signifikante Unterschiede. Die Werte für die Länge, die Breite, den geometrischen Mittelwert des Durchmessers, die runde Form und die Fruchteinwaage pendelten jeweils zwischen 75,32 und 91,68 mm, 68,56 und 90,53 mm, 70,72 und 90,88 mm, 94,02 und 99,18 % sowie zwischen175,12 und 329,44 g. Der höchste statische Reibungskoeffizient (0,47) wurde auf der Aluminiumoberfläche, der geringste auf der Stahloberfläche gemessen.
