Abstract

The article presents data on the qualitative composition of the fruits of tall blueberries Vaccinium corymbosum (Linnaeus, 1753) varieties Bluetta, Spartan, Blueсrop, Torro, Elizabeth, Elliot in comparison with swamp blueberries
V. uliginosum (Linnaeus, 1753) in the agro-climatic conditions of Brest region. The following morphological features of the berries were studied: weight, diameter, shape, number of seeds and color. In addition to the taste assessment, the quality of the berries has been assessed on the basis of several indicators such as acidity titre, sugar content and sugaracid
index. It has been shown that these varieties have some insignificant differences, but they all differ significantly from the fruits of wild-growing blueberries, the berries of which are characterized by lower content of sugars and high
content of organic acids. The results indicate high quality of the yield of the studied blueberry varieties.
