Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the rich fig population on the Çesme peninsula.
This paper includes the results of the survey carried out in 1996 in Çiftlikköy and Ovacik regions.
The pomological studies show three fig cultivars in the Çiftlikköy region (C1, C2 and C4) selected among 12 fig cultigens that bear early breba fruits.
Brebas harvested at the end of June and main crops harvested in the mid of August, were analyzed in terms of quality characteristics.
The average fruit weight ranged between 30 g – 90 g, the total soluble solid content in fruit juices was between 16% and 27.6%, total titratable acidity as citric acid between 0.06 g/ml and 0.15 g/ml, pH value between 4.73 – 5.90 and the fruit flesh firmness of fruits between 0.20 kg/cm2 – 1.20 kg/cm2.
