was 0,58cm (Tk1) whereas, the highest weight loss subjectly 19,98% (Tk4) and
subjectly towards to the highest water content loss, but also subjectly with lowest
levels of vitamin C reduction to 11.87% and the highest of total soluble solit
(TSS)increase to 3.29 (oBrix). The indicators preferred by the panelist were
