This can also explain why wild strawberries often taste better than shop-bought ones. The good news is that the work is helping them uncover how to make them even more delicious. Serendipitous strawberries Strawberries have a long and proud history – even the ancient Romans ate them. We know this from the works of poets Some 500 years ago, the Fragaria vesca, Fragaria moschata, The Garden of Earthly Delights central panel. The most common type of strawberries we eat today came to us by coincidence via the transatlantic explorations of Christopher Columbus and his successors. First the very hardy Fragaria Virginiana), a native of North America, reached Europe in the 17th century. Then early in the 18th century, the large Fragaria Chiloensis) As a result of an Fragaria ananassa, sometimes known as the “garden strawberry”. This combined in one fruit two particular traits inherited from its forerunners: hardines...

The main goal of this study was to identify the chemical drivers of sweetness and consumer liking for fresh strawberries ( Fragaria × ananassa). Fruit of 148 strawberry samples from cultivars and breeding selections were grown and harvested over seven years and were subjected to both sensory and chemical analyses. Each panel consisted of at least 100 consumers, resulting in more than 15,000 sensory data points per descriptor. Three sugars, two acids and 113 volatile compounds were quantified. Consumer liking was highly associated with sweetness intensity, texture liking, and flavor intensity, but not sourness intensity. Partial least square analyses revealed 20 volatile compounds that increased sweetness perception independently of sugars; 18 volatiles that increased liking independently of sugars; and 15 volatile compounds that had positive effects on both. Machine learning-based predictive models including sugars, acids, and volatiles explained at least 25% more variation in sweetness a...

Strawberries have rich flavor; sugar, acid, phenolic content, and aroma all together make the wonderful fruit. Many factors are assumed to affect strawberry flavor. Some are supported by scientific evidence, some may be simply people’s impressions. In this article, we discuss some of the factors that are more likely to affect strawberry flavor. Locally grown strawberries often taste better than strawberries purchased from grocery stores. Part of the reason is that strawberries shipped long distances are harvested a few days before they are fully ripe. The fruit has longer shelf-life but the flavor is sacrificed. We are testing ten strawberry varieties in a high tunnel and in open-field in southern Indiana this spring. Regardless of cultivars, we consistently noticed better fruit quality (higher sugar content, softer, and much cleaner) for strawberries grown inside high tunnel than grown in the open-field (Figure 1). I do not think it is fair to say the high tunnel itself makes the berry taste better. The conclusion would be too blank. Let’s look further to see potential reasons. Figure 1. Strawberries are growing in a high tunnel. One big difference is the management system. We used a more intensive fertility management system inside the high tunnel than in the field. In the high tunnel, plants were fertigated during all the irrigation events starting in February (from once a day to three times a day). Plants grown in the open field depended on preplant fertilizers applied...

Strawberry is one of the world’s most popular fruit flavors, and with good reason. Read on to discover why the strawberry is so captivating – and how Blue Pacific brings that farm-fresh flavor to your favorite food and beverage products. Consumers love strawberries! Their bright red color and heart shape makes them attractive, but their fruity-sweet flavor is what makes them unforgettable. Strawberry Science Strawberry flavor is incredibly complex: over 1,000 flavor volatiles contribute to its sensory profile! Understanding which natural flavor molecules, and in what ratios, are most important to strawberry flavor is the secret behind capturing the unique character of different strawberry varietals and styles. We may think strawberries are sweet because they taste sweet, but a good portion of that “sweet” perception actually comes from the aroma and flavor! The freshest and tastiest strawberries are a fragrant bouquet of esters, with flavor notes ranging from pineapple to tree fruit such as apple and pear. Ethyl butyrate, one of the most important strawberry esters, contributes to the “ripe” fruit flavor we recognize in a freshly picked berry. Many wild strawberries, such as the French Mara de Bois, have higher levels of the ester methyl anthranilate, which sme...
