Abstract

The study analyses the quality of 10 different varieties of blueberry first cultivated in Xiangxi area.The results showed that the difference of moisture and ash content was not extremely significant in all ten quality indicators. Therefore,nine other indicators were used to evaluate the quality of blueberry. The highest to lowest comprehensive quality were Brigitta > Gardenblue > Sharpblue > Coastal > Britewell > Legacy > O'Neal > Darrow >Misti > Elliott. Brigitta with higher nutrients,smaller fruits and less water became the best quality variety. Gardenblue with large fruits and more water content,least amount of acid and the highest sugar acid ratio tastes best. It also has high VC and anthocyanin content and is the best fresh fruit in all ten kinds.
