    Abstract: Instrumental texture profile analysis (TPA) of Nandini cucumber fruit, was measured as a function of its parts (stalk, mid and blossom), and maturity stages. These textural parameters; hardness, springiness, adhesiveness, gumminess, stringiness, fracturability, and chewiness of the fruit were measured; over a course of four maturity stages, 6, 9, 1...
