Abstract
Pisang Mas Musa sapientum cv Mas is susceptible to peel/pulp splitting PPS disorder. PPS is an abiotic disorder caused by environmental or cultural conditions. It has been associated with high fruit sugar content water absorption through the cuticle and calcium content. The physico-chemical characteristics of the PPS affected split fruits and unaffected fruits non-split fruits were evaluated to be used as a platform in further study on the causal factors determination. Split fruits were found to ripen more rapidly as compared to non-split fruits. Significantly p0.05 higher soluble solids concentration and pulp moisture content in split fruits suggested that excess nutrient and moisture might be the causal factors of PPS disorder.
