As blueberries ripen successively and are commercially harvested over a period of several weeks, their composition may be altered during the harvest. The aim this study was to compare blueberry fruit entire harvest season. Fully ripe fruits two northern highbush cultivars (Bluecrop Jersey) were weekly at different locations. Additionally, Earliblue cultivar monitored single location. Most examined characteristics changed season cultivar-dependent, with smaller differences observed between...

We investigated how the quality of blackberry fruit changes during ripening period. Since it is difficult to predict picking dates for blackberries, we were interested in fully ripe changed depending on sampling date (from 28 July 1 September). Blackberries (at full ripeness) sampled at six weekly intervals and contents sugars, vitamin C, organic acids phenolic components analysed by high performance liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. The colour parameters, total soluble...

Abstract Bilberries are processed into different food products and beverages. Therefore, we studied how various bilberry items (puree, infusion, liqueur, fresh pasteurized juices) differ in secondary metabolites as compared to the fruit. For this purpose, identified phenolics with a liquid chromatography‐mass spectrophotometry (LC‐MS) system phenolic profiles contents prepared from same raw material. Our results show that processing significantly affected biochemical pattern levels of...

High temperature stress, which has been occurring more often in recent years, usually coincides with the flowering of primocane raspberries and causes a negative effect on fruit quality parameters. One methods delaying raspberry development to avoid high summer temperatures is tipping young primocanes. The aim study was investigate how this practice affects characteristics primary secondary metabolites two cultivars (‘Amira’ ‘Polka’). For purpose, we performed different dates late spring...
