Fruit Quality and Consumer Liking of Different Strawberry Cultivars

Fruit Quality and Consumer Liking of Different Strawberry Cultivars

Show other versions (1)

The strawberry production system in the north of Uruguay is primarily done under low and high tunnels with the objective of obtaining fruit during autumn, winter and spring. The aim of INIA’s breeding program is to obtain varieties adapted to local environmental conditions, resistant to pests and diseases, with high fruit quality, good flavour and extended postharvest life. The aim of this work was to evaluate fruit quality of six strawberry cultivars (INIA Yvahé, INIA Guenoa, Yurí, Earlibrite, SGK50.4 and SGJ37.2) throughout harvest season and the sensory evaluation of the three INIA cultivars available in the market. Three replicates per cultivar were analyzed at harvest for external and internal quality for each date considered (June, September and October). Three cultivars were selected (INIA Yvahé, INIA Guenoa, Yurí) for sensory evaluation with consumers in the October harvest. Yurí showed the highest fruit quality, being the cultivar with the higher fruit firmness throughout harvest season (20-55 % ). The three selected cultivars showed high consumer overall and flavour acceptability scores. According to consumer’s perception, clear differences on sensory attributes existed between cultivars, mainly in sweetness, acidity, size, firmness and shape. Yurí was perceived by consumers sweeter and firmer than INIA Guenoa and INIA Yvahé. It is possible to conclude that fruit quality is dependent on harvest date and that the cultivars considered were highly accepted by Uruguayan consumers.

El sistema de producción de frutilla en el litoral norte de Uruguay está basado en micro y macrotúneles, con el objetivo de producir fruta durante otoño, invierno y primavera. El objetivo del programa de mejoramiento de INIA es contar con variedades adaptadas a las condiciones ambientales, resistentes a enfermedades y plagas, de alta calidad, sabor y vida postcosecha. El objetivo del trabajo consistió en la evaluación de calidad de fruta de seis cultivares de frutilla (INIA Yvahé, INIA Guenoa, Yurí, Earlibrite, SGK50.4 y SGJ37.2) durante la estación productiva y la evaluación sensorial de los tres cultivares INIA disponibles en el mercado. Se trabajó con tres repeticiones por cultivar, evaluando calidad externa e interna en cosecha para cada fecha considerada (junio, setiembre y octubre). Se seleccionaron tres cultivares (INIA Yvahé, INIA Guenoa, Yurí) para su evaluación sensorial con consumidores en la cosecha de octubre. Yurí destacó por su calidad de fruta, siendo el cultivar más firme en todas las fechas de cosecha (20-55%). Respecto a la evaluación sensorial, los tres cultivares alcanzaron altos puntajes de aceptabilidad global. De acuerdo a la percepción de los consumidores, existieron claras diferencias en las características sensoriales de los cultivares, principalmente en su dulzor, acidez, tamaño, firmeza y forma. Yurí fue percibido por los consumidores como más dulce y firme que INIA Guenoa e INIA Yvahé. Es posible concluir que existen diferencias significativas en la calidad de fruta obtenida en función de la época de cosecha y que los cultivares evaluados tienen amplia aceptación por los consumidores uruguayos.
