20.500.12556/RUL-169470 Comprehensive analysis of strawberry fruit quality with uneven ripening disorder a physical and chemical approach We studied the physical and chemical profiles of strawberry fruits (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) of the varieties “Clery” and “Asia,” which exhibited uneven ripening disorder. In the first part of the study, evenly (uniformly) ripe fruits harvested in different harvest seasons – spring and autumn – were compared. The chemical parameters, including total soluble solids (TSS), individual and total sugars, individual and total organic acids, vitamin C, and phenolic content, varied between the two seasons. However, the values of physical parameters, such as fruit color and firmness, were similar between the seasons. The second objective was to compare the characteristics of differently pigmented parts of unevenly ripe fruits. The higher levels of TSS, individual and total sugars, vitamin C, and phenolic compounds, along with lower levels of organic acids and firmness, were found in the most pigmented part of the fruit. Uneven ripening appeared as the “white shoulder” or the “green tip” in the strawberry fruit. In the variety “Clery,” the “white shoulder” was observed in both harvest seasons, while in the variety “Asia,” the “white shoulder” was observed in spring, and the “green tip” in autumn. In conclusion, uneven ripening in strawberries results in significant chemical differences between fruit parts and harvest seasons. Moreover, different parts of unevenly ripe fruits show different maturity based on physical and chemical parameters. strawberry harvest seasons ripening disorder pigmentations phenolic profiles sugar contents jagode sezona žetve motnje zorenja pigmentacije fenolne spojine vsebnosti sladkorja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-05-29 13:36:22 2025-05-29 13:36:30 2025-05-30 04:20:09 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 178-197 no. 1 Vol. 25 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 634.7 1553-8362 10.1080/15538362.2025.2503203 237660675 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15538362.2025.2503203 0 23f735d6-3c80-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210876 Comprehensive_Analysis_of_Strawberry_Fruit_Quality_with_Uneven_Ripening_Disorder__A_Physical_and_Che.pdf Comprehensive_Analysis_of_Strawberry_Fruit_Quality_with_Uneven_Ripening_Disorder__A_Physical_and_Che.pdf 1 52FEC1110E2978BBB99993895502B689 7ead0bae6b02eba02d0f5eba677b88b02cb6e7ef7cdecc280b1fcbcf08fa05ab 3b56376c-3c80-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210877 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
