Variety traits

Raspberry shelf life

Rubus idaeus L.

Raspberry shelf life is determined by fruit firmness, which is assessed by the force required to crush the berries, measured in Newtons. This indicator is key for transportability and suitability of berries for fresh market retail.

In the reference 70 varieties crop Red raspberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

The physical-mechanical indicator of raspberry shelf life is the berry crushing force. Fruits with a value below 5.0 N are considered soft and non-transportable, while varieties with a value of 7.2–8.3 N and higher are recognized as firm and suitable for transport.

Organoleptic assessment of shelf life is conducted using a 5-point scale, monitoring the appearance and integrity of the berries during storage. High fruit firmness scores allow for the use of industrial harvesting technology and require prompt cooling of the crop to a temperature of +4…+6ºС to maintain market quality.
