Cultivation
Prunus avium (L.) L.
Technological characteristic of sweet cherry fruit, determining its ability to retain nutrients and texture during low-temperature storage. Depends on flesh firmness, dry matter content, and phenolic compounds in the cultivar.
In the reference 114 varieties crop Sweet cherry, where this is mentioned in the description.
The suitability of sweet cherries for freezing is limited by the delicate structure of the flesh, which requires the use of blast freezing methods to prevent loss of marketability and the destruction of cellular tissue. Dark-colored cultivars with a high content of phenolic compounds, pectins, and sugars demonstrate more stable quality indicators after defrosting.
The presence of the pit negatively affects long-term storage, as it can contribute to the development of an almond-like aftertaste and a change in the texture of the flesh surrounding it. Agronomically, firm cultivars are preferred for processing, as they maintain structural integrity better compared to soft, early-ripening varieties.
