“…The pH of blueberries had a mean value of 3.39 and increased from 3.14 (16-1-26 hybrid) to 3.89 (16-1-16 hybrid). Similar data were reported by Aliman et al who found values for pH of 3.2–3.6 for the highbush blueberry and wild bilberry fruit grown in central Bosnia and Zorenc et al who found values for pH of 2.76–3.89 for the highbush blueberry fruits of three traditionally cultivated cultivars in Slovenia, ‘Bluecrop’, ‘Earliblue’, and ‘Jersey’.…”

“…The total phenolic content in blueberry fruits from 45 commercial cultivars grown in Suwon, Korea ranged from 170.9 to 385.7 mg GAE/100 g FW . Lee et al obtained values for the total polyphenol content between 367 and 1286 mg GAE/100 g FW for Vaccinium membranaceum species and 677–1054 mg GAE/100 g FW for Vaccinium ovalifolium species, native to Pacific Northwest of North America.…”

The popularity of Vaccinium corymbosum blueberry cv. has increased over time because its fruits are highly valued for their taste, aroma, and multiple ways of use. A field trial with two genotypes and their hybrids was organized during 2021−2022 at the Research Institute for Fruit Growing Pitesti-Maracineni, Romania. This paper proposes a comparative analysis of the quality of berries in 17 hybrids of the 'Simultan' and 'Duke' cultivars, selected by the size and the soluble solid content, in agreement with the objectives of the blueberry breeding program. The genotype influence on berry weight, total soluble solids, pH, vitamin C, total polyphenols, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins, lycopene, β-carotene, and antioxidant activity was determined considering the climatic factors. The results showed that fruit weight varied between 1.22 and 2.47 g, total soluble solids reached a maximum of 19.22 °Brix, and the pH oscillated between 3.14 and 3.89. Vitamin C content varied from 9.52 to 18.69 mg in 100 g fresh weight, with an average of 14.35 mg/100 g. Total polyphenol, flavonoid, and anthocyanin contents averaged 709.92 mg gallic acid equivalent in 100 g fresh weight, 165.48 mg catechin equivalent in 100 g fresh weight, and 81.88 mg cyanidin-3-O-glucoside equivalent in 100 g fresh weight, respectively. Results show that the strategy of growers to produce blueberries with a large diameter, visually attractive for traders and consumers, is not sufficient for repeat sales. Our study proves that large fruits do not have the highest content of bioactive compounds. Smaller berries had higher polyphenol, lycopene, and β-carotene contents. It is recommended that the selection of the hybrid in the breeding program also takes into account the content of bioactive compounds.

“…The mean TPC values in our bilberry populations fell within the reported results for bilberries from other countries and regions, such as: 403 mg GAE/100 g FW in Borja [57] and 431-455 mg GAE/100 g FW in Bugojno, Bosnia and Herzegovina [58]; 376-476 mg GAE/100 g FW in Rakitovo-Yundola, Bulgaria [59]; 392-524 in northeast Montenegro [17]; 366-457 mg GAE/100g FW in Mazovia, Polonia [60]; 387 mg GAE/100 g FW in Dragacevo, Serbia [30]; 367-442 mg GAE/100 g FW in Velka Fatra and Tatra, Slovakia [16]. During the study, the yearly values of TPC for most bilberry populations were higher compared to the results of 200-215 mg GAE/100 g FW obtained in bilberries from northeast Turkey [61].…”

Variation of Polyphenol Content and Antioxidant Activity in Some Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) Populations from Romania

Fruits of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) are valued mainly for their nutraceutical properties, and are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity due to their high content of phenolic compounds. The aim of this research was to assess the total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of fruits in six wild bilberry populations from two regions of Romania over three years. The total polyphenol content was determined according to the Folin–Ciocalteu modified method, while the antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay. The Padis and Raul Lung populations registered the highest values of polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, as such the fruits of these bilberry populations could be considered potential sources of antioxidants for direct consumption or for use as ingredients for food products or food supplements. Significant variation of total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity was observed both between populations from the same region and from different regions. The low level of broad sense heritability for total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity associated with the high effects of year, and population–year interaction indicates that the accumulation of polyphenols in bilberry fruits is influenced by changes in environmental conditions.

“…The most dominant acid contained in bananas is malic acid [16]. Aliman et al (2020), blueberries have a total acid content of 0.93% with organic acid components such as ascorbic acid and citric acid as the largest organic acid components. The mean values followed by the same letter are not significantly different(p≤0,05).…”

The aim of this research was to analyze the chemical characteristics of Velva products from the mixture of bananas and blueberries with the addition of CMC. This study used a two-factorial completely randomized design with the first factor being the proportion of bananas and blueberries (40:60, 50:50 and 60:40). The second factor was concentration of CMC (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5%). Chemical analysis in this research included total acid, vitamin C, antioxidant activity, crude fiber content, protein, and fat. The data were analyzed by ANOVA using SPSS version 26 with Duncan Multiple Range Test at 5 % probability level. The best results based on the best chemical characteristics were obtained in the treatment of banana and blueberry proportions of (40:60) and CMC concentration of (0.5%) which had characteristics 0.613% total acid, 7.627 mg/100g vitamin C, 42.893% antioxidant activity, 4.450% crude fiber, 3.657% protein and 0.127% fat.
