CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE
Deltsidis said it's extremely wasteful
to grow fruit that doesn't contain the
sweetness, texture, firmness, shelf life
or other characteristics that consumers
desire.
Repeat sales are critical, and poor
eating experiences will ensure lost sales,
Deltsidis said.
To that end, UGA researchers have
used consumer tasting panels to rate
what Georgia farmers have grown. A
multi-year blackberry research project
has documented reactions from two
consumer groups last year. Another one
took place on June 9, followed by another
in June.
The 25 tasters sampled four varieties:
Caddo, Osage, Ponca and Ouachita.
In part, the panels help document the
effects of CA storage treatments, but
they're also designed to give growers
data to make decisions about what
varieties to plant.
The fruit were developed in other
states, so how they taste after harvest
can be slightly different in Georgia, due
to weather, soil and other conditions.
The lab also uses gas chromatography
to study the compounds and variations
in the different varieties to see what's
influencing the desired traits.
" We are trying to see what our climate
does to those varieties, which are the
most productive, which produce best
quality and good yields, and taste good, "
Deltsidis said.
A manual analog penetrometer measures
peach firmness.
" Hydrocooling quickly after harvest eliminates
shelf-life sapping heat. "
