Postharvest quality of southern highbush blueberries.

 

Southern highbush blueberry cultivars Cape Fear, Cooper, Gulfcoast, O'Neal and the breeding selection MS108 were harvested in Arkansas in 1993 and 1994. Cv. Sierra, which has some southern highbush parentage, and the rabbiteye cultivars Climax and Tifblue were also included in the comparison. Fruits were held at 5 deg C, 90% RH for 21 days then for 1 day at 20 deg , 80% RH. Southern highbush fruit weights ranged from 1.5 g for Cooper to 2.1 g for O'Neal. Climax, Tifblue, O'Neal and Sierra fruits had the smallest stem scar diameters (1.3-1.5 mm). Following storage, soluble solids concentration changed little. Sierra fruits had very little (<10%) decay. Gulfcoast and Cooper fruits were considered the least acceptable of the clones studied due to high percentages (20-30%) of pedicel adherence, decay and soft fruit, and large stem scar tears. Sierra and O'Neal fruits were judged to be as good as or better in postharvest quality than the commercially important cultivars Climax and Tifblue.
