Skin separation in mature date fruits is not only an unattractive trait, but it also lowers the fruit's market value and costs the growers money. Because of the internal turgor pressure, the fruit's shape is defined by the skin at pre-ripe phases. According to our research, it is regulated by environmental factors and is generated in part by high diurnal, cyclic stressors of turgor pressure variations prior to the fruit's ripening stage. The mechanical properties of ripe fruit skin in Majhul dates have also been discovered to effect the separation of soft tissues. In our experiment, the mechanical properties (visco-elasticity) of separated and non-separated fruit skin were shown to be significantly different. It is suggested that skin separation prevention methods be used.
