Abstract

<p>To extend the shipping period of blueberry fruits, we compared the storability of the new interspecific hybrid blueberry HoSp-S65G-13, which is suitable for cluster harvesting, with that of existing cultivars. Moreover, we investigated the effects of different harvesting methods (individual and cluster harvesting) on storability and fruit quality. Storability did not differ significantly among HoSp-S65G-13, ‘Chandler’, and ‘Tifblue’; however, weight loss was significantly lower in cluster-harvested fruits than in individually harvested fruits after two weeks of storage. The Brix value and acidity showed no significant difference between harvesting methods; however, cluster harvesting suppressed fruit decay during storage. Sensory testing showed that after five months of storage, cluster-harvested fruits were equivalent to imported fresh fruits, whereas individually harvested fruits were rated significantly lower than imported fresh fruits. Thus, cluster harvesting of blueberries suppressed weight loss and fruit decay, suggesting that this harvesting method may help extend the storage period of blueberries.</p>
