“…A absorção de etileno do interior da câmara de armazenamento mantém a produção de etileno e a respiração dos frutos mais baixa, tendo como provável conseqü-ência a diminuição da utilização dos açúcares no processo de respiração e maturação. Por outro lado foi reportado que em mirtilos os teores de sólidos solúveis totais foram pouco influenciados pelo tempo (Jackson et al, 1999) e pelas condições de armazenamento (Harb & Streif, 2004). Day et al (1990) observaram que o conteúdo de SST em mirtilos manteve-se inalterado durante 12 semanas de armazenamento a 4°C, devido à interação dinâmica entre as reações de anabolismo e catabolismo de carboidratos nos tecidos.…”

Storage of 'bluegem' blueberry in controlled atmosphere and cold storage with ethylene scrubbing and inhibitionThe aim of this work was to evaluate storage conditions on the maintenance of the physiochemical qualities in Bluegem blueberry. The experiment was arranged in a complete randomized design , with four replicates and the experimental unit consisted of approximately 400g of fruits. Six storage conditions were evaluated as follows: [6] CA with 2.0 kPa O 2 + 10.0 kPa CO 2 with application of 900 μg kg -1 of 1-methilciclopropene. All treatments were stored at 0.5°C (± 0.1°C). Fruit quality was evaluated after seven weeks of storage plus three more days at 20°C (± 0.2°C). The best 'Bluegem' blueberry conservation was achieved in cold storage, which gave the highest titratable acidity, total soluble solids and percentage of firm fruit, lowest ethylene and CO 2 production as well as the highest anthocyanin and total polyphenolic contents. However, the removal of ethylene in the storage room can prolong fruit conservation.

“…By 6 d after storage, there was little or no difference in the rate of mass loss between harvest methods or storage conditions. Jackson et al (1999) concluded that minimizing delays before refrigerated storage is one of the best options for maximizing fresh blueberry quality. Our studies suggest this is especially important for reducing rate of mass loss for MH berries.…”

Research was conducted to understand the effect of harvesting method and postharvest temperature on fruit quality of 'Brightwell' and 'Tifblue' rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium ashei Reade). Mass loss, firmness and fruit respiration were measured under refrigerated (1°C) and ambient (22°C) conditions for both machine harvested (MH) and hand harvested (HH) berries of each cultivar. Few differences were found between cultivars for the various postharvest quality parameters. Firmness of MH blueberries was diminished by an overall average of 36.2% as compared to HH berries. MH berries placed at 22°C had a mass loss rate of 2.6% per day as compared to 0.2% per day at 1°C during the first two days of storage. Respiration rate of MH berries at ambient temperature was 31.1% higher than HH berries. Refrigeration reduced Abelardo Nunez-Barrios was a Visiting Scientist,

“…Blueberries weight loss levels must be held below 8% during the postharvest chain to minimize excessive softening (Paniagua et al 2013). Best storage temperature for blueberries is at 0°C (Jackson et al 1999;Forney, 2009). Literature sources claim that cooling blueberries to 5°C before packing also reduces microbial activity, especially when blueberries are unclean and mistreated (Jackson et al 1999).…”

Literature sources claim that cooling blueberries to 5°C before packing also reduces microbial activity, especially when blueberries are unclean and mistreated (Jackson et al 1999). Correct temperature management must start immediately after harvesting with removing saved field heat out of the blueberries to maintain their quality (Forney 2009).…”

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.
