Romanian wild cherry genotypes (Prunus avium var. sylvestris Ser.) suitable for processing

This paper presents the important features of indigenous wild cherry genotypes suitable for processing. The research took place between 2017–2020, having ten Romanian as study material. harvesting maturity was recorded in first decade June early cultivar (G10) and decades two three other studied genotypes, all them with a middle season maturation. number days end flowering maturation 54 66 (G9). average weight fruit equatorial diameter varied 2.1 g 13.80 mm G4, respectively, 5.5 21.35 G10. proportion (%) pulp waste (stone peduncle) measured 81.95% (G4) 93.64% (G10). values soluble dry substance content were 13.1–24.0 °Brix, titratable acidity 0.48–1.16 mg malic acid/100 mL juice total polyphenols 229.00–720.00 GAE/100 fresh juice. In terms bitter taste intensity, G10 has weak G3, G7, G8 G9 have an intensity G1, G5 G6 high intensity.
