Determination of some pomological and chemical properties of some blueberry varieties cultivated in the Northern Marmara Region

Abstract

Blueberries are fruits that have been found to be very beneficial for human health in recent years due to the high levels of antioxidants and many other components they contain. In this study, Duke, Darrow, Patriot, Bluecrop blueberry varieties grown as standard in the Northern Marmara Region were compared. The first harvest was made at maturity (June 25, 2024). Fruit weight (g), fruit width and length (mm), L*, a*, b* color values, SÇKM (%), TEA (%), pH amounts, Ascorbic acid, total phenolic substances, antioxidant amounts were determined. In blueberry varieties, fruit weight was determined between 1.29 g and 1.79 g, fruit width was determined between 13.52 mm- 15.33 mm, and fruit length was determined between 10.21 mm- 11.49 mm. L* value was found between 27.23-32.25, a* value was found between 2.27-2.84, b* value was found between (-3.98)- (-6.29). SSC amounts were found between 7.73%-11.17%, TA amounts were found between 1.26%-2.97%, and pH values were found between 4.01-4.47. Ascorbic acid amounts were found between 1.14-1.38, total phenolic was found between 0.183-035, and antioxidant amounts were found between 2.97-3.25.
