Description

The variation of some compositional quality parameters in connection with ripening time in the case of four sour cherry varieties (Prunus cerasus L. Mill.) was studied. Our aim was to optimize the harvest time on the basis of antioxidant capacity. The experiments were carried out in the Erd-Elvira orchards of the Research Institute for Fruitgrowing and Ornamentals (cultivars Erdi botermo, Kantorjanosi 3) and in orchards of the Agard Frucht Ltd. in Agard (cultivars Erdi jubileum, Maliga emleke). Anthocyanin, polyphenol and vitamin C contents as well as the water-soluble dry matter content of fruits were measured.
