The peach has been grown for so many centuries and over so wide an area that its origin is s trifle obscure. It has been said that the history of the peach follows the history of agriculture. aince the records of agriculture are no: comolete we do not know LOE long the peach has been cultivated. For many centuries people believed that the peach had come fro-.Persis. Theophrnetus referred to the peach as e Persian Fruit. others called it the Persian cools. The ancient authors, TheOphrsstue, Counella and Pliny, agreed that the hone of the peach was Persis.1 They were the authorities in their day and their Opinions have carried weight even down to the nineteenth century. The early historians believed Persia to be the bone of the peach beceuce it seme’fron that country to the Greeks and Romans.2 The: assumed that because the fruit came fro- n region, that that was the fruit'c original habitat. By examining the regions vhere the fruit grows Wild, not Just en escepe from cultivation. one can establish the origin. In the case of the peach this is very difficult for it seemingly grows wild in Persia, in China. in Eexioo and in many other ports of l fledrick, U. P. Ihg Fenchgg 93 New zork.

Be Cantolle, one of the most painstaking workers in the field of botany. after searching and weighing all evidence. concluded that the peach had never been really wild in Persia.3 Botanists since De Cnntolle's tine have never been able to find abso- lute proof that the peach one originally wild in Persia. The peach was late in reaching Greece and Home. It ar- rived in these countries after the beginning of the Christian Era. The Greeks and the Romans had been in Persia before this era and it seems etrnnge that some of the fruit or the seeds had not been brought to them earlier, if its original home was Persia. Neither He- brew nor Sonekrit writers tell of the peach. The fact that the peach was thought to have originated in Persia is indeed indicated by its name in sons languages. In German. for example, the name *Pfireich' indicates such an origin. There is such evidence that seems to indicate that Chins is the an- cestral home. Confucius referred to the peach in the fifth and tenth centuries before the Christian Ere.‘ Both the sacred end profane writings of the Chinese cen- tion the peach. Peaches are found commonly cultivated in China from river-level to an altitude of 9000 feet. 3 “Rodrick, U. P. 1.1g Eeoirchce 93 New York. Albany: J. B. ”0‘ company. fl ‘7' p. 2. 4 Could. H. P.

Through the explorations of men like Frank Eeyore of the United Btates Department of agriculture there is conclusive proof that there are Species of the peach growing wild now in China.5 There are many Chinese tradition: referring to the poaoh.6 In all of the early Chinese writings and folklore. the peach and symbols of the peach have had o prominent place.

Because of these superstitions. peaches are a part of the painting and aoulpturo of China. Peaches are oavod a: a salute to the new year. If one has been able to eat them enough tiles, the body is believed to be saved from cor- ruption until tho_end of the world. Taoism from early days has takan the peach as its particular fruit, signi- fying longevity. Tao peach has a prominent place among the fruit: 5 Gould. H. P. Peach-Growin .

The Spaniards in their conquest of Mexico established the dissemination of the peach. A Spanish book published by rolina in 1571 described peaches. From notice to Florida, Arizo- na, New fiexico cnd California the transmission by mis- sionaries made peach culture certain among many lniian tribes.

The volatile flavore and odors. the attractive color, the smooth clean taste, the texture, all these factors appeal to us and promote the use of fruit in the menu. The nutritive val- ue of peaches is sunmed up in Tablee I. II. III and IV (eee pages 24. 26. 26 and 27). the vitnmmn and mineral content and the composition of the fnait ie ehovn in these tables. The ascorbic acid content of fruits has been shown to vary tremendously with variety. climate, soil and maturity. Such knowledge is leading to the selec- tion of varieties and conditions best suited to produce an improved food supply. Schroder, Satterfield and Holmes (18) studied eight varieties of peaches. Peaches at the edible stave of ripewess contribute more ascorbic acid to the diet than if they are eaten before they are fully ripe. according to the data there was a ‘,.l .— -...“- varietal difference in ascorbic acid content. The ranges were from 3.84 mg. per 100 gm. for Augbsrt to 12.86 mg. per 100 gs. for alley Belle. The size of the peaches veried.but there see no consistent correlation between size end degree of ripeness. The nsximun amount of ascorbic acid which can.be supplied to the diet ac- cording to this study is 13 mg. per 100 gm. of the fruit. Peaches cannot be used es the sole source of ascorbic acid but due to their attractiveness and appeal they can contribute materially during their season. The highest concentration of ascorbic acid was found to be in the skin, lower in the flesh directly under the skin and lowest in the flesh.surrounding the pit. Kirk.and Tressler (19) also found that fruits have s dsily varia- tion in ascorbic acid amount. These differences were attributed to season, ripeness, amount of sun and quan- tity of rain. There was a pronounced varietal differ- ence and different portions of n peach had different ascorbic acid contents. 1. e. peach skins contain two to four times as much.nscorbic acid per gran as the pulp. The effect of drying on the nutritive value of penches see determined in a study by Sheart and Sholes (20). The results showed that sulphursd peaches retain- ed all of their vitamin C content whether they were sun dried or dehydrated while unsulphered peaches lost all of their vitamin C content during drying. Processing of frozen peaches seems to have little effect upon their ascorbic acid content as reported by De Felice (21); frozen eliced peaches of the Rochester. J. H. 851e, Crawford, South Haven and Elberta varieties werelehcan to contain 75 per cent of the ascorbic acid potentially available in the whole fresh peach. teller! pouches are considered an excellent source of vitamin n and provitmin A. a good source of vitamin G and riboflavin or vitamin 6, although thq are not coneidercd e. significant source of 81 cr thiamine according to Daniel (22).

III. HETHDD OF FROG? URE Types of peaches: Canned, frozen and dried peaches all make acceptable peach pics but there are different varietiee available in each type and, hence, some variation in the quality of the resulting pies. In thie etudy, canned. froien and dried peaches were compared with fresh peachee IfiiOh were used as the standard product. Since the primary interest ie in the niohigan varieties available on thie market, theee peachee were compared with the leading California verietiee obtainable here. A eurvey made by mail in 1945 indicated that about on per cent of the 1945 peach crop wee of the Elberte variety and 25 per cent of the Hale Haven veri- 25 fheee bean: the principal Michigan varietiee grown, both were included in the study. The canned .t’e peachee used were of both theee varietiee (the Elberte variety and Hale Haven variety). Frozen Michigan peaches available vere of the Elberta variety. These frozen peaches had been treated with ascorbic acid to lessen the possibility of browning. There are no dried Michigan peaches available. The California canned 25 drop Report fcr’uichigan, United.8tetee Department of Agriculture Bureau of Agricultural Economice and Hichiq'en Department of Agriculture, Bureau of Agri- cultural Induetry, January-February. 1946. peaches available on this market were of the Philliss variety, a late California Cling Peach. In correspond- ence with the canners of this peach we were informed that under the general classification of Phillips, there are many specific varieties including Corona, Dahling, Giblin, Games, Peterson, phillips, Sewell, Stuart, Sulli- Van :4 and Wiser. domes, Phillips, Stuart and Sullivan is are the ones generally used by this particular canner. The other canned California variety used was a peach en- tirely different in character and variety than the Phillips, the hidsummer. The canner of this peach stated, 'rhe Hidsummer variety consists of several very similar type peaches, in fact, we do not attempt to separate them. They are known generally as Hausa, Paloras. and Libby's.“ The frozen peaches used in the study were California Elberts and a yellow freestone variety called Rio 030. To hoth.cf these varieties ‘ ascorbic acid had been added to retard discoloration. The largest percentage of peaches dried in California are of the nuir variety and that was the one used in this study. other varieties are dried in California but in conversation with a food broker in Lansing it was learn- ed that this area is not a great user of dried peaches and hence almost Without efiception, dried peaches avail- able here are huirs. The fresh peaches used for the standard pie were purchased on the daily market. South Carolina Elberta peaches were available during the pie baking period so these were used. All forms of peaches were thoroufihly examined by the writer at the beginning of the study and before their use in pie making. The results of this examina— tion are noted elsewhere. EEIJOQ: The standard recipe used by the Union Cafeteria for canned and frozen peach pies was used. This forlula when reduced to small quantity consists of the following ingredients: 2 cups of peaches 1 cup of peach_Juice or syrup 1/4 cup sugar l/2 oz. cornstarch The fruit was strained and the Juice collected. The peach Juice was added to the sugar and cornstarch. This mixture was cooked on a gas plats over a medium flame for four minutes. This gave a syrup of medium consistency. All of the fruits except the Phillips variety were packed in a light syrup, hence to this variety it was necessary to add one-half cup sugar to cake the sweetness of all pies as nearly alflke as pos- sible. The thickened syrup was poured over the drained fruit. Upon cooling the pie filling was stored in a glass Jar in the refrigerator overnight. The next morn- ing the pies were baked using this prepared filling. The peach pies were all baked in the Union Cafeteria by the pastry cook. The pie crust used was the standardiz- Ied recipe developed by the Union Cafeteria for its daily use in pie making. Thus the work was done under insti- tution conditione. The piee were baked in an institution electric oven which was thermostatically controlled. The: were baked at 400° for forty-five minutes. The dried fruit and the frozen fruit becausecaf their nature, needed additional preparation. The dried peaches were soaked for three hours before preparation time. They were then cooked for fifteen minutes in the enter in which they were coated. After drnining and cooling the dried peaches were sliced for use in the plea. the procedure for the filling was the came no reported previously. The frozen peaches were thawed according to directione given a: the freezere. rheee directione were to than in the container for three houre before using. The eyrup end Juice obteined from the thaving vee used for each frozen peach.pie. The fresh peechee were peeled and eliced immedi- ately before using to minimize the browning. One and one-fourth cupe of sugar were put on the peaches and one cup of eater was poured over the sugared fruit to ob- tain Juice for thickening. One-half ounce of cornstarch was used for thickening, the same proportion as used for the other peach pies. After cooling, one half of the pie We: used for teeting. This pie was cut into eeven pieces for the Judgee to ecore. All pies were Judged within 3 heure after cutting at e tine convenient for each Judge but at -52- acproximately the same time each day. Your Judges were institution trained people, two Judges were foods and nutrition trained personnel and one Judge was home eco~ ncrics trained but not in the foods field. The Judges were familiarized eith the score sheet before the scar. ing was begun. The score card used was develOped by the Foods and nutrition Depertment, School of acne Economics, Hichigmn State College. fhie score eheet is included in the Appendix. Only e.emall nunber of pies could be used at one time so five peach piee vere baked.esch.day.

HES‘UL‘I’S AND DI3C‘JSSION Pre:2regareticn‘gzamination‘gg Eeache : All of the peaches need in this study were examined before making into pies. Table V io n synopsis of these observations. It can be generally concluded that with the exception of the onmples of the Phillipe canned ond.lnir dried varieties all peaches should have made satisfactory producte. This probability was found to be correct and will be discussed in the following paragrapho. ‘Qifferences between xcthods‘gg greeerving: i compari- eon was made between the groups of peaches, canned, dried, frozen and fresh. The groups were paired in every possible combination. The mean difference and the t value of the difference was calculated for each scor- ing factor. The results are iven in Table VI. .fho results indicate that the dried peacneo used were de- cidedly inferior to canned. frozen and fresh peaches in color, consistency, flavor and torture, the difference being highly significant. there is a significant dif- ference in color between frozen and freeh.peecheo. fresh pencheo being superior. The flavor of canned pencheo is inferior tc-tho flevor of fresh peaches, tho differ- ence being highly significant. Canned peaches are also inferior to both fresh and frozen peaches in the factor of scaling of the crust, where a significant difference is shown to exist. -35- gave-Sacco onen- .. hence 5 e98 323 323 £82: 362 «.3 3.26 11 «new on . a u a o cevcmb uoou numb ouae Encode: onuh eoaaow ha 11 a oo .. hoaoo E coco acegoowm‘ I «can :2. 5.3.3.5 and.“ nogow hm r - noun”. 3 4 :9...» $33 .3 L coco £8335 dog .3. £325 25 oer"; ouch.- ‘: nowamshwm . .53 33m 92. .30 8.3 are: .uo « 1.3.35. one on: 5 coca .. hence 3. . 3&2. .no 9:” m .. coco «5.3023 coca £3.25 shop on: bod—How 1.30am hmumfl + 4 .:ee 0: no.3 econ. eaneuaeecc: «and: .pw N} Bean one on: 3 .. ensue on .:.?- Ju «Km. w 3533 no: 33.3 3.335— h—e» 33...: £93 353 anon 3:0» 1! ice o3... o: ea In: . econe finance» loan 33c: .03 a Iona one on: 3 Define» one.” om . one. ..u {a u «3.3, 5933.6 38 £38.. «2. or: 393. need oemwm :3 Done»! .50 0.3 on an: ocean admin on In» 3.53 Jo a no: one euum 5 undue» coon» 3 £32 ..a {an 225 «5:85 38 .582: no: e28 «55.... 1.5.8 33» ‘ .-.wmfixma :81... 580.

The cross hatched sections denote the fiducisl limits for p ; .05. Only canned end frozen varieties are discussed in this section because the date for the fresh and dried peaches are the some as previously discussed in the section pre- seeding. Canned peaches: the Phillips variety was infor- ior to all canned peaches in color and texture. There was no difference in flavor among the canned'pesches. The hichigsn varieties compared favorably sith the Cali- fornia varieties. The California Iidsunmer variety gave the best results and the California Phillips variety the poorest results. .Csnned peaches can be recommended as satisfactory for*pio making. Frozen peaches: There was no significant differ- once within the group of frozen peaches in any of the factors tested. This s owed that one variety of frozen peaches is as good as any other. A subjective measure on the score card for the Judges' own preference in eschrpie denoted that frozen peach.pies were oreferrod in most cases.

Frozen peach pies were preferred to canned and dried peach pies. gregnrgglgg 1133, Material and E935 M: The institu- tion in its use of peaches for pies is not only inter- ested in the factors of color, texture, flavor, etc. which have been discussed but also in the cost in prepar- ation tins and materials. The results of this survey may be found in Table VII and in the labor data and cost date per individual pie. The cooking of the filling, the pie crust preparation and rolling of the dough, and the baking time for each group of the types of peaches are standardized. The variables in each group here: for dried peaches-~90sking, cooking of soaked peaches, cooling, slicing; for csnned--drsining time; for frozen-- defrosting time and for fresh peaches the preoerstion tine for peeling, slicing, etc. The preparation time including all variables in each case was greatest for the dried peaches and least for canned peaches. Lahore cost was calculated at the present wage rate of 31.00 per hour. The labor cost was the greatest for fresh peaches and lowest for frozen and dried peaches. The total material cost, including labor and esterials, was lowest for dried peaches. For some types of institu- tions, as school cafeterias, where cost is a chief con- siderstion in use, dried peaches vould be recommended on this basis. Fresh peaches are th mo"t costly in pre- paration time and materials. T ere is also a factor of waste which does not affect the other types. Customer demand, the type of clientele of a restaurant or hotel may make their use desirable even in the face of these disadvantages. The prices for products made with fresh peaches must he correspondingly greater. Canned and frozen peaches are both advantageously used. Canned peaches are very good for their short preparation time. Frozen peaches lust be allowed tine to thaw but this as: be done at such s tine to offset the disstantage of the length of time necessary. Kichigen peaches were found to be cheaper than Cnlifcrnis peaches in both frozen and canned types. TABLE 711 suave: or r: mantles use, mrsnm Aha mos cos! TY? .

SULLAAEU AND COISCLUGIOIiS Canned, frozen, dried and fresh peach varieties were used for pie baking under institution conditions. -Pour varieties of canned, three of frozen, and one each of dried and fresh peaches were utilized. the fresh peach pie was the standard pie. Esch.pie was baked five tines with the exceptions of the fresh peech.pie baked nine tines and the frozen Hichigan Elberts peach pie bsked four tines. The piss were scored hy seven Judges on the basis of color, consistency, odor. flavor, texture and soaking of crust. The preparation tins and cost of materials and labor were also considered. It can be con- cluded on the basis of this study that frozen, canned and fresh peaches are acceptable for pie baking. the dried peach.pies made during this study were inferior to those made with other forms of peaches. Within the canned variety grOUp, the Kidsummer peach was most satisfactory and the Phillips variety was inferior and not to be recommended. There was no significant difference between frozen varieties. Hichigan peach varieties compared fsvorahly with Californis varieties. In the canned peach group, the flichigen varieties were superior to the California Phillips variety. In cost, Michigan peaches were cheaper in both the frozen and canned types. Dried peeches were the lowest in esterisl end labor cost but had the highest total preparation tile. Canned peaches were the lowest in preparation time but were more eXpeneive than dried peaches. Each institu- tion must determine the factors of most importance to it and select the type best suited to its needs. Peaches are very satisfactory for use in institutions for all types are available. Here e?perimenta1 work needs to be done so that recommendations may be made to the institution user of peaches. An acquaintance with varieties and their suitability for institution use must be promoted. EXperilental work in the use of Various varieties for products other than piee should be studied.
