Abstract
Physical properties of some olive varieties were determined. The selected varieties represented more than one cultivated areas and included the oil producing varieties (kronaki, Coration and Arabqueen) and the duel purpose varieties (Watiken, Picuel and Manzanillo). The studied Physical properties included principal dimension of fruits and their pits, flesh thickness, pit cross section area, fruit shape index, number of fruits per kilogram ,flesh /fruits mass percentage and flesh/ pit mass ratio. Statistical analysis was also proceeded to examine the significant variation among varieties and the deviation of the measured values around its average. The results show that , the mean values of physical properties for the investigated oil producing varieties were ranged from (15.57 to 23.7 mm )  for fruit length , ( 11.30 to 16.22 mm) for fruit diameter, (2.06 to 4.06 mm ) for flesh thickness, (11.86 to 16.94 mm ) for pit length, (5.537 to 7.369 mm ) for pit diameter, (16.85 to 29.467 mm2 ) for pit cross section area, (1.661 to 1.940 ) for fruit shape index and (101.33 to 760.67 ) for number of fruits per kilogram. Meanwhile, the corresponding values for the duel purpose varieties were ranged from ( 23.02 to 25.74mm ), ( 5.681 to 21.452mm), ( 3.486 to 5.669mm), ( 14.093 to 16.830 mm), ( 7.99 to 8.84 mm), (34.336 to 47.242mm2) ( 0.992 to 1.643 ) and ( 193.0 to 361.67 ) respectively.
