Subjective and Objective Pericarp Colour Measurement in Block‐Red Kiwifruit

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.
Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) genotypes include fruit with green, yellow, or red flesh. Red‐fleshed kiwifruit may be either starburst, with a red inner pericarp, or block red, in which both inner and outer pericarp are red.
