Chemical and biochemical changes of pumpkin (Cucumis moschata, Duch) tissue in relation to osmotic stress

Chemical and biochemical changes of pumpkin (Cucumis moschata, Duch) tissue in relation to osmotic stress were studied and related to tissue textural behavior. Turgor pressure of raw tissue was adjusted by immersion in hypotonic (0.0 mol m-3), isotonic (250 mol m-3) and plasmolyzing (1050 mol m-3) b...
