“…Although some cultivars from the rabbiteye and highbush group were in a single group according to the multivariate analysis performed, it is important to highlight that the similarity among them is related to the productive performance and capacity to adapt to the climate of the Cerro Azul region, in addition, the best performance cultivars are all from the rabbiteye group.

“…Blueberry (Vaccinium spp) is a fruit species originated from North America and Europe, where it is much appreciated for its taste and functional properties. The world's interest in cultivation is due to the high profitability and high antioxidant capacity, attributed to the wide range of polyphenols present in fruits, mainly anthocyanins, flavonoids and cinnamic acid derivatives (ENGLAND, 2015, KANG et al, 2015, CARDEÑOSA et al, 2016, LI et al, 2016.…”

Studies on adaptation to the cultivation site are necessary for the recommendation of new cultivars. The aim of this study was to evaluate the phenological development, productivity and fruit quality of eight blueberry cultivars from the rabbiteye group (Aliceblue, Bluebelle, Bluegem, Briteblue, Climax, Delite, Powderblue and Woodard) and two from the highbush group (Georgiagem and O'Neal) under humid subtropical conditions in the 2012/2013, 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 cycles. Beginning and end of flowering, beginning and end of harvesting, fruit set, production, mass, diameter, pH, content of soluble solids, titratable acidity, ratio and coloring were evaluated. The evaluated cultivars presented flowering in the period from July to September, concentrating harvest in the months of November and December. The highest fruit set was observed in Delite, Climax, Briteblue and Powderblue cultivars. There were differences among cultivars regarding fruit mass, size, pH, content of soluble solids and acidity. The results showed that the cultivars exhibited blue color with few variations over the evaluation years. Cultivars with the best productive performance under humid subtropical climate conditions are Bluegem, Delite, Climax and Powderblue. Index terms: Vaccinium sp., small fruits, fruit set.

Houve diferenças entre as cultivares quanto à massa do fruto, tamanho, pH, teor de sólidos solúveis e acidez. Os resultados demonstraram que as cultivares exibiram coloração azul, com poucas variações ao longo dos anos de avaliação.

“…However, the majority of the studies are focused on phytochemical characterization or on protective health effects. In addition, few studies have been made about the influence of different parameters such as soil and climatic conditions, season, variety, and ripening in the chemical of their fruits (Cardeñosa, Girones-Vilaplana, Muriel, Moreno, & Moreno-Rojas, 2016). In this respect, recently, Yang and Hinner (2015) and Teleszko, Nowicka, and Wojdylo (2016) found that maturation conditions are critical for phytochemicals accumulation or reduction.…”

Variation of chemical constituents, antioxidant activity, and endogenous plant hormones throughout different ripening stages of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosumL.) cultivars produced in centre of Portugal

Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L) cultivars produced in Centre of Portugal were evaluated during three different ripening stages. The amount of phenolic compounds, organic acids, vitamin C, and sugars were determined by HPLC‐DAD‐UV/Vis. The content of total phenolics, total flavonoids, pigments, and endogenous hormones were determined by spectrophotometric methods. The antioxidant capacities were determined by DPPH, CUPRAC, and lipid peroxidation methods. In all cultivars, the glucose and the citric acid were the predominant sugar and organic acid, respectively, whilst the delphinidin‐3‐O‐galactoside was the main anthocyanin identified. The average content of each attribute varied significantly (0.01 < p < .001) with ripening stage. It was observed an accumulation of anthocyanins and abscisic acid in the last stages of ripeness, whilst the content of total phenolics, flavonoids and pigments, and the hormones indole‐3‐acetic acid and gibberellic acid, were higher in the first stages, suggesting a shift in the evolution of compounds throughout the ripening process. Practical applications Blueberry is an important natural product that contains high level of anthocyanins and other important compounds including glucose, fructose, vitamin C, and citric acid. These compounds are recognized as being responsible for health‐promoting properties. This article evaluates how ripening process affects the evolution of bioactive compounds accumulation and how this can be used to promote higher accumulations of such compounds enchanting their fruit nutritional and functional quality. Our findings may provide a useful guide for adequate fruit development towards a better fruit quality. Moreover, these findings may deliver additional phytochemical‐related information to blueberry growers and consumers as fresh fruits harvested at different ripening stages.

“…Worldwide interest in the blueberry cultivation is due to its high profitability and high antioxidant capacity, since it presents phenolic compounds such as anthocyanins, flavonoids and cinnamic acid derivatives (CARDEÑOSA et al, 2016), responsible for fighting free radicals and reducing bad cholesterol (RETAMALES et al, 2014;ENGLAND, 2015;KANG et al, 2015). LI et al (2016) reported 13 different types of anthocyanins in blueberrie cultivars grown in China, being Medeiros et al malvidin (41.0%), delphinidin (33.1%), and petunidin (17.3%) the major ones.…”

Evaluation of yield performance is important to find the most adapted blueberry cultivars in a particular region. This research aimed to evaluate the flowering and hasvesting periods, the production per plant, and fruit quality of eight rabbiteye blueberry cultivars (Aliceblue, Bluebelle, Bluegem, Briteblue, Climax, Delite, Powderblue, and Woodard) and two highbush blueberries (Georgiagem and O’Neal), in mild winter conditions in Pinhais-PR. Flowering and harvesting periods, production, berry weight, size, pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, ratio and color of the fruits were evaluated in the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 growing seasons, when the plants had two and three years old, respectively. Cultivars flowered from August to September, and harvest was concentrated in November and December. Berry weight, size, pH, soluble solids and acidity varied among the cultivars. The average ratios of 14.97 and 13.39 for each crop proved that the cultivars have good fruit quality. There was little variation in fruit color in the two years evaluated. Blueberry cultivars showed the staining characteristics and physical and chemical attributes of quality compatible to blueberry from other traditional regions. Under mild winter conditions, young plants of rabbiteye blueberry cultivars, Climax, Delite, Bluegem and Powderblue, are the most productive, while the highbusch cultivars bear few fruits.
