Sugar Content — Garden Strawberry

Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne ex Rozier

A key fruit quality indicator that determines dessert properties, expressed through the content of soluble solids in degrees Brix or the total sugar content.

In the reference 109 varieties crop Garden strawberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

The refractometric method is most frequently used to evaluate the sugar content of berries, determining the soluble solids content in the range from 7.0% to 14.0% Brix. Varieties demonstrating values above 11–12% Brix are characterized as having a high soluble solids content, with the total sugar content in the fresh weight of the fruit typically varying from 7.5 to 9.2 g/100 g.

Sugar accumulation in garden strawberries is largely determined by the genetic characteristics of the variety, as well as light conditions and water regime. A high level of sugar content positively correlates with the content of soluble solids and negatively with the concentration of calcium in the fruits, which requires monitoring when determining optimal harvest times.
