Abstract

Asparagus spears from Hoob-Ka-Pong Agricultural Cooperative were measured for their size and analyzed for their fiber content. The results indicated that diameter of white spear was 14.6 mm. with 16.7 cm long, while grade A, B and C of the green spear was 10.7, 7.3 and 5.9 mm. with 29.7, 29.4 and 30.2 cm long, respectively. The fiber content of white spear, green spear with grade A, B and C was 1.52, 0.68, 0.94, and 1.29 percent, respectively. The results also indicated that the fiber content was lowest at the distal end and increased steadily to the basal end.
