Chemical composition of selected cultivars of highbush blueberry fruit (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of the study was to compare basic fruit chemical composition of four highbush blueberry cultivars: ‘Spartan’, ‘Bluecrop’, ‘Jersey’ and ‘Blueray’. The plants were grown on plantation near Szczecin in the years 2001 – 2003. Basic chemical composition of fruit including total ash, crude fibre, total nitrogen, soluble solids, titratable acidity, dry weight and total polyphenol content was determined. On average, ‘Spartan’ berries showed the highest total ash, total nitrogen and soluble solids content. ‘Bluecrop’ berries had the highest total polyphenol content, the berries of ‘Jersey’ the highest dry weight content and that of ‘Blueray’ the highest total acid content. The most considerable seasonal variations in fruit chemical composition of the cultivars were observed for soluble solids and titratable acidity was concerned. Katarzyna Skupień 48

Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is an important crop grown throughout Florida. Currently, most blueberry growers use honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) to provide pollination services for highbush blueberries even though bumble bees (Bombus spp.) have been shown to be more efficient at pollinating blueberries on a per bee basis. In general, contribution of bumble bees to the pollinatio...

Volatile compounds are responsible for the aroma and contribute to the flavor of fresh strawberries (Fragaria ×anannassa), red raspberries (Rubus idaeus), and blueberries (Vaccinium sp.). Strawberry aroma is composed predominately of esters, although alcohols, ketones, and aldehydes are also present in smaller quantities. The aroma of raspberries is composed of a mixture of ketones and terpenes...
