The Relationship between Color and Organic Compounds Content of in the Fruits of Sweet Cherries

Abstract

The three-year experiment was carried out in Experimental Station Orchad of the West Pomeranian University of Technology in Szczecin (Poland). The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between color and some organic compounds content in the fruits of sweet cherries ‘Burlat’ cultivar. Ripe fruit were divided into groups depending on the color. The following parameters of fruit were determined: mass of the individual fruit, soluble solids content and the concentration of DPPH in fruit. The analysis showed a relationship between color of fruit and mass of the individual fruit, soluble solids content and the concentration of DPPH. The darkest fruit characterized the highest concentration of soluble solids and the concentration of DPPH
