Abstract: Effects of DMSO treatment before fruit coloring on changes of dominant pigments and sugar concentration in peel of Cara Cara Navel Orange were studied,and the correlation among the indexes after treating were analyzed.The results showed that DMSO treatment didn't affect the changing trends of chlorophyll and carotenoid,but accelerated the degression of chlorophyll and delayed the ascending of carotenoid during fruit maturation.DMSO treatment didn't change the changing trends of glucose,fructose,sucrose and total sugar concentration,but accelerated the rising of glucose,fructose and total sugar concentration and decreased sucrose concentration very significantly in peel.The chlorophyll concentration of peel both DMSO treatment and control was negative correlation to carotenoid but didn't reach significant level,was very significantly negative correlation to glucose,fructose and total sugar concentration,and was positive correlation to sucrose concentration but didn't reach significant level.

Key words: Cares Cares Navel Orange, Chlorophyll, Carotenoid, Glucose, Fructose, Sucrose, Total sugar
