摘要
Sweet cherry cultivars grown in Northern Michigan in 1992 were analyzed for sensory and physicochemical characteristics. 'Emperor Francis', a yellow/red blushed, light color cultivar had the highest Brix/acid ratio at the 4th harvest, and it scored higher in sensory tests for sweetness flavor and overall acceptability than the dark cultivars, 'Sam' and 'Hedelfingen'. Harvest dates showed significant effect on titrable acidity, Brix, Brix/acid ratio, sugars, weight and diameter of fruits. Brix/acid ratio showed significant correlation with sweetness. Correlation coefficients between overall consumer acceptability and measured parameters for three sweet cherry cultivars indicate that firmness has potential as an objective overall index for acceptability.
