Fruit Quality of Plum Cultivars ‘ Elena’ and ‘ Bistrica’

In this research dry matter, total acids (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), TSS/TA ratio, pH, vitamin C, total phenols, flavonoids, non-flavonoids, natural and total invert, in fresh and dried plums, of two plum cultivars ‘ Elena’ and ‘ Bistrica’ , were investigated. There was significant difference between selected cultivars in fresh and dried fruit. ‘ Elena’ showed higher values of dry matter, TSS, TSS/TA ratio, pH and total invert, while ‘ Bistrica’ had higher values of vitamin C, total phenols, flavonoids and non-flavonoids, total acids and natural invert in fresh and dried fruit. It can be concluded that although ‘ Elena’ obviously has some favorable characteristics, cultivar Bistrica has higher content of antioxidant compounds.
