Abstract：In order to investigate the changes of eggplant quality during the growth and development,we studied the of fresh weight,the anthocyanin contents and flavonoid of eggplant peels,the soluble protein,free amino acid,the soluble sugar,vitamin C,phenolic contents,total antioxidation capacity (TAC) of eggplant pulps at different developmental stages.The results showed that the fruit stem,diameter and fresh weight were sharply increased,then changed stably.The soluble protein,amino acid,the soluble sugar,vitamin C contents appeared to increase at the beginning and decline later on,the phenolic contents were always decreased,and the TAC content appeared to decrease initially and then rise.The nutrient contents of the peels and the pulps of eggplant fruits were compared,which indicated that there was significant positive correlation between the anthocyanin contents and flavonoid of eggplant peels,between the soluble protein content and free amino acid,the soluble sugar,vitamin C of eggplant pulps,between the anthocyanin contents and flavonoid of eggplant peels and the soluble protein content and,the soluble sugar,vitamin C,while there was significant negative correlation between vitamin C and the phenolic and TAC content.
