<br/><br/> DIMERO, DICKSON FERAER, REMVAL 	NUESTRO 	R., General Science Curriculum, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. March 2000. RESPONSE OF SOURSOP (Annona muricata) TO BIOETHYLENE. Adviser: Prof. Fe N. Dimero and Prof Dulce L Ramos.<br/>The study was conducted to determine the effect of bioethylene on the ripening of soursop; to evaluate color, texture, acidity and sweetness of soursop exposed to bioethylene and to compare the rate of ripening of soursop fruits exposed to bioethylene from different sources.<br/>Different sources of bioethylene were used: acacia leaves (T 1), madre de cacao leaves (T2), butterfly leaves (T3), and tiessa leaves (T4). The effects of such treatments and the control (TO), no bioethylene, were evaluated and compared.<br/>Results of the study revealed that soursop fruits treated with acacia leaves, madre de cacao leaves, butterfly leaves and tiessa leaves ripened two days earlier than the untreated sample. Soursop samples exposed to bioethylene were evaluated to be sweeter and more sour than the untreated sample. Such properties contributed to better acceptability of bioethylene-treated soursop.<br/>
