Variety traits
Pyrus communis L.
Key dessert characteristics of pears, determined by organoleptic analysis using the Korobkina five-point scale. These include sugar content, acidity, juiciness, and specific aromatic profiles such as muscat or rose.
In the reference 539 varieties crop European pear, where this is mentioned in the description.
Pear fruit quality is evaluated by experts on a five-point scale, where scores between 4.5 and 4.7 are considered excellent, and those below 4 are deemed satisfactory. Taste parameters are based on the balance of sugar content, acidity, and the intensity of astringency, which is determined by tannin content.
The aromatic properties of pears are classified into types, including muscat, rose, and the species-specific pear essence note. Taste and aroma traits are directly dependent on the variety's genetics and ripening conditions, while deviations in storage technology often lead to an irreversible loss of varietal qualities.
For pear breeding, the flavor and aroma profile is a determining criterion for commercial success. Varieties with low tasting scores are classified as culinary or cider pears, as their taste characteristics are primarily revealed only after industrial processing.
