![]() All fluxes were higher for the cracked than for the non-cracked fruit. Solute and anthocyanin effluxes from a wetted fruit and water influx increased with time. Solute efflux was gravimetrically measured in wetted fruit as the increasing dry mass of the bathing solution, and anthocyanin efflux was measured spectrophotometrically. The objectives of this study were to (1) establish whether a solute efflux occurs when a sweet cherry fruit is incubated in water (2) identify the solutes involved (3) identify the mechanism(s) of efflux and (4) quantify any changes in solute efflux occurring during development and storage. ![]() ![]() The fruit skin is permeable to water, but also to solutes. Sweet cherries are susceptible to rain-cracking.
