IdentificationandDetermination of QualityValuesof SomeGrapeVarietiesGrown in Siirt Province

Abstract

The aim of the study was the detection and identification of grape varieties grown in Siirtprovince. In this study, morphological properties, pH, total soluble solids (TSS) value, chlorophyll and carotenoid amount of the twenty different grape varieties grown in Siirt province and Eruh, Pervari, Kurtalan and Tillo (Aydınlar) districts were investigated. Additionally, to identify seed morphological differences the images of grape seeds were processed by the image processing software. According to the results, grapes obtained from Şirvan and Pervari regions had higher pH and TSS contents than the other regions. And grape samples taken from the Siirt center and Eruh districts have a higher level of acidity. TSS values ranged between 12 and 24%(Kıtılnefs-Mevazer). It was determined that the chlorophyll and carotenoid values of Gadüv, Karrot and Heseni varieties are significantly higher compared to others. The highest success rate for the identification of grape seeds by image processing system, was obtained with LMT (Logistic Model Tree) method at 91.66%.
