Firmness at harvest impacts postharvest fruit softening and internal browning development in mechanically damaged and non-damaged highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)
Moggia Lucchini, Claudia; Graell i Sarle, Jordi; Lara Ayala, Isabel; González, Guillermina; Lobos, Gustavo A. (Frontiers Media, 2017-04-11)Fresh blueberries are very susceptible to mechanical damage, which limits postharvest life and firmness. Softening and susceptibility of cultivars 'Duke' and 'Brigitta' to developing internal browning (IB) after mechanical ... -
Fruit characteristics and cuticle triterpenes as related to postharvest quality of highbush blueberries
Moggia Lucchini, Claudia; Graell i Sarle, Jordi; Lara Ayala, Isabel; Schmeda-Hirschmann, Guillermo; Thomas-Valdés, Samanta; Lobos, Gustavo A. (Elsevier, 2016-09-15)Chilean fresh blueberries take 20-50 days to arrive by boat to the Northern hemisphere, softening and dehydration being the main defects upon arrival. The effect of maturity at harvest (75% blue, 100% blue, and overripe) ... -
Variation in the impact of stem scar and cuticle on water loss in highbush blueberry fruit argue for the use of water permeance as a selection criterion in breeding
Moggia Lucchini, Claudia; Beaudry, Randolph M.; Retamales, Jorge B.; Lobos, Gustavo A. (Elsevier, 2017)The role of fruit scar on water loss from fresh harvested, fully blue highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruit was studied on three germplasm lines from each of three half-sib families at University of Talca, ...
