Abstract. The popularity of sweet cherries among consumers is due to the high taste qualities of fruits with an attractive appearance and the early ripening period. Among external quality indicators, the mass of sweet cherries and the kernel-to-pulp ratio are of the greatest importance for consumers, which affects the market value. The purpose of the study was to examine the average fruit weight and kernel weight of 33 cherry varieties of three maturation periods, both promising and common in Ukraine, and identify varieties and variety samples that have scientific and practical value in terms of the considered parameters. Determining the average fruit weight, kernel weight, and kernel-to-pulp ratio in cherry fruits was conducted during the period of economic ripeness. Sampling and preparation of samples for analysis were conducted in accordance with DSTU ISO 874-2002. The average weight of the fruit in sweet cherries grown in the conditions of the Southern Steppe zone of Ukraine was at the level of 8.41 grams, the average weight of the kernel was 0.56 grams. The optimal fruit weight was provided by the fruits of the sweet cherry group of the late ripening period (7.27-12.18 g). The most stable, with minimal coefficients of variation in the indicators under study in the context of early-ripening varieties in terms of fruit and kernel mass, were the varieties Sweat earlies and Rubinova rannia. Among the group of varieties of medium ripening, the most stable mass of fruits and kernels were the fruits of the varieties Temp and Vynka. In late ripening varieties, the lowest variability in the content of fruit and kernel weight was recorded in the Regina variety. It was identified that the dominant influence for the formation of fruit mass in all groups of varieties was exerted by the weather conditions of years of research, and for the formation of kernel mass in all groups of varieties -- varietal features. The results of the study will be useful when choosing cherry varieties of different maturation periods that are suitable for selling fruits and further processing them [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
