Production, chemical components, and content of bioactive compounds of strawberry cultivars

There are only a few strawberry cultivars available in Brazil and all imported from North America Europe. Thus, the introduction of new materials their evaluation under Brazilian environmental conditions is imperative. The objective this study was to evaluate production, chemical components, concentration bioactive compounds edaphoclimatic municipality Pelotas-RS. experiment conducted field with low tunnels 2011 2012. arranged completely randomized design, eight treatments (cultivars), four replications. Each plot consisted nine plants. laboratory 8x3 factorial design (8 3 months harvest) 4 variables analyzed were fruit number mass per plant, yield, soluble solid content, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, anthocyanins, phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity. Cultivar harvest month influenced contents solids, compounds. Camarosa showed higher anthocyanin, solids. Cultivars ‘Palomar ‘Aromas’ stand out for content acid.
