Suitability of blueberries for processing

Vaccinium corymbosum L.

The suitability of blueberries for processing is determined by the cultivar's adaptability to mechanical harvesting, the fruit's ability to maintain integrity under impact, and its physical and mechanical properties.

In the reference 40 varieties crop Highbush blueberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

Critical factors for industrial processing include bush architecture that allows for the efficient use of harvesters and the cultivar's ability for a 'dry' stem scar. Detachment without damaging the skin and preventing the formation of a 'wet scar' inhibits juice leakage and the development of fungal diseases, which is essential for raw material storage.

The physical and mechanical firmness of the berry's texture determines its resistance to damage during harvesting and transportation. The technological specifics of the crop also lie in the high concentration of anthocyanins in the skin, which makes processing of the pomace a valuable avenue for producing functional ingredients.
