Fresh Market Blueberry
Vaccinium corymbosum L.
The primary intended use of blueberries, requiring cultivars with high flesh firmness, skin toughness, and long storage potential. Key quality factors include a dry picking scar, a heavy waxy bloom, and resistance to mechanical damage.
In the reference 32 varieties crop Highbush blueberry, where this is mentioned in the description.
Highbush blueberry fruits are genetically characterized by firm flesh and tough skin, which allow them to withstand transportation and sorting. Unlike bilberries, the light-colored flesh and structural integrity of blueberry fruits make them suitable for fresh market sales.
When selecting cultivars for the fresh market, the priority traits are shelf life, transportability, intensity of the glaucous waxy bloom, and a dry picking scar that prevents skin damage. Hand harvesting is preferred to maintain quality, as mechanization often reduces the marketable shelf life of the produce.
Storage of fresh blueberries requires maintaining low positive temperatures and using modified atmosphere packaging to prevent moisture loss and the development of rot. Cultivation technology must minimize the risk of physiological disorders that affect the appearance and firmness of the fruit.
