“…Surface colour without wax was not different with respect to the L* values for both taxa. In the study with two highbush blueberry cultivars 'Bluetta' and 'Duke', where the blueberries were stored at room temperature or at 10 • C, results were similar concerning the L* value [58]. In the mentioned study was no significant difference between both blueberry cultivars during the storage when the fruits were stored at 10 • C, where, at the end of the trial (at the 16th day), the L* value for 'Bluetta' was 26.5 and for 'Duke' 25.9.…”

Comparison of Regular Atmospheric Storage versus Modified Atmospheric Packaging on Postharvest Quality of Organically Grown Lowbush and Half-Highbush Blueberries

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of modified atmosphere (MA) packages on the external quality of organically grown lowbush blueberry and half-highbush blueberry (’Northblue’) and the nutritional value of the fruits. Fruits were divided into plastic punnets and stored as follows: regular atmosphere (RA), punnets without packing; punnets sealed in a low-density polyethylene (LDPE, Estiko) bag; punnets sealed in an Xtend® blueberry bag (Stepac). Fruits were stored at 3 ± 1 °C. Compared to RA conditions, the Xtend® package prolonged the postharvest life for 15 days for lowbush and 9 days for half-highbush blueberries. Fruit dry matter (DM) and titratable acidity (TA) were higher in the Xtend® package. Fruit SSC decreased in the LDPE packages and increased in the Xtend® packages during storage. Based on the decreased soluble solids content (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA) ratio (SSC:TA) values during storage, it can be concluded that the taste of the fruits became sourer in all packages. Anthocyanin biosynthesis of lowbush blueberries was suppressed in MA, but this effect was not noticed for ‘Northblue’. Regarding fruit firmness, shrivelling, and decay, there were significant differences between the MA packages, but the genetic differences were more important: half-highbush blueberry fruits were firmer and less shrivelled.

“…Hue angle is a good measure of blueberry colour and the blue colour of the fruits has been suggested as the best criteria of fruit maturity and decision-making regarding harvesting time [58,59]. The higher hue angle values indicate bluer colours.…”

“…Blueberries are highly perishable and the final quality of berries depends on their cultivars (Faria et al 2005;Sinelli et al 2008;Eum et al 2013). A blueberry cultivar is suitable for growing in Estonia when it is able to tolerate northern climatic conditions, for example it must be winter hardy (Albert et al 2010).…”

“…Blueberry firmness is related to water loss that is measured via weight loss (Paniagua et al 2013). Water loss is caused by a difference in vapour pressure between the fruit and the surrounding environment and is influenced by the area to volume ratio, mechanical damage of the skin, and also by the emperature at which blueberries are stored (Kays 1997;Willis et al 1998;Eum et al 2013). Moisture loss is predictable when tracking blueberries weight loss during the post-harvest chain (Paniagua et al 2013).…”

Soots K., Olt J. (2017): Non-stationary processing centre for small and medium-sized blueberry farms. A Review. Res. Agr. Eng., 63: 136-144.Growing blueberries on exhausted milled peat fields could be a possible solution to decrease carbon dioxide emission from these areas. To operate such crop-giving plantation manually, a lot of manpower is needed. To decrease the manpower, suitable and helpful technical solutions should be introduced. The aim of this article is to investigate different technological aspects of post-harvest processing of blueberries and to study already existing technical solutions. As a result, non-stationary processing centre for small or medium-sized blueberry farms is proposed. The proposed solution allows reducing manpower, lowering production costs and increasing the area used for growing blueberries. Also, it may encourage other farms to start growing blueberries.

“…Such large weight loss probably occurred as a result of the non-refrigerated storage conditions, which could have led to the elevated fruit transpiration and respiration rates. Eum et al (2013) also observed that 'Duke' and 'Bluetta' blueberries became improper for commercialization after 6 days of storage at room temperature (20-25 ºC), with weight loss rates of 2.5% for 'Duke' and 4.0% for 'Bluetta' blueberries.…”

Fruit quality attributes of low chilling requirement ‘Snowchaser’ blueberry cultivated in Brazil

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

-In Brazil there are still few studies on the post-harvest quality of low-chill blueberry cultivars, which have been recently introduced in the country. 'Snowchaser' blueberries were evaluated during a six-day storage period regarding fruit physical and chemical properties, and its antioxidant capacity. During fruit storage there was an increased weight loss and maintenance of some skin color properties such as luminosity (L*) and b*, whereas the values of parameter a* decreased and chroma (C) values increased. The levels of anthocyanins and flavonoids in the pulp increased, as well as the antioxidant activity. Maximum fruit shelf life at room temperature was six days without reduction on the antioxidant activity along the period, which is beneficial to consumers' health. Index terms: Vaccinium corymbosum, weight loss, color, anthocyanins, flavonoids, antioxidant activity. Atributos de qualidade em frutos de mirtileiro 'Snowchaser' de baixa exigência em frio cultivados no BrasilResumo -Há poucos estudos sobre a qualidade pós-colheita de cultivares de mirtilos de baixa exigência em frio hibernal, recentemente introduzidas no Brasil. Frutos de mirtileiro 'Snowchaser' foram avaliados quanto às propriedades físicas e químicas e também com relação à atividade antioxidante, durante 6 dias de armazenamento. Houve aumento da perda de massa e manutenção das variáveis colorimétricas de luminosidade (L*) e (b*), enquanto os valores da variável a* diminuíram e os de croma aumentaram. Os teores de antocianinas e flavonoides aumentaram, assim como a atividade antioxidante. O período máximo de conservação dos frutos em temperatura ambiente foi de 6 dias, sem redução da atividade antioxidante ao longo do período, o que é benéfico para a saúde dos consumidores.
