Abstract

Türkiye is the world's most important producer of sweet cherries. Mihalıççık is a very important district in terms of export in cherry production in Türkiye. This study is to determine the fruit quality of "0900 Ziraat, Regina and Starks Gold" sweet cherry cultivars, which are widely produced in Mihalıççık. Fruit pomological and phytochemical properties were investigated in the study. The largest fruits were found in the 0900 Ziraat cultivar. The highest values in terms of phytochemical properties (Soluble solids content (SSC=20.17), Ascorbic acid (AsA=35 mg/L), Total phenolics content (TPC=52.67 mg GE/100 g), Anthocyanin=272.33 mg Cyanidin-3-rutinosideED/100g and DPPH=288.67 µmol TE/100 g) were determined in the Regina cultivar. Color and fruit firmness are among the most important criteria in terms of fruit shelf life and export. The highest fruit firmness was determined in the "Regina" cultivar. As a result of the study, it can be said that the Regina cultivar is very important for the region in terms of both fruit durability and phytochemical values it contains.
