Summary

FACTORS AFFECTING THE TENDENCY OF THAWED BLUEBERRIES TO LEAK PIGMENTED EXUDATE WERE INVESTIGATED. DRIP AND ANTHOCYANIN LEAKAGE RATES (ALR) WERE DETERMINED SPECTROPHOTOMETRICALLY. LEAKAGE VS TIME CURVES WERE LINEAR OR TWO-PHASE LINEAR, ALR VARYING WITH CULTIVAR, RIPENESS, AND BERRY CONDITION. ALR DID NOT CORRELATE WITH BERRY ANTHOCYANIN CONTENT, SURFACE AREA, OR CUTICLE THICKNESS. ALR VARIED FROM BERRY-TO-BERRY WITHIN SAMPLES. AN HYPOTHESIS RELATING LEAKAGE TO SKIN CONDITION, FLUID ACCUMULATION, AND ANTHOCYANIN CONTENT IS PRESENTED.
