Comprehensive Evaluation of Quality and Antioxidant Capacity of Highbush Blueberries (<i>Vaccinium corymbosum</i>).

ABSTRACT: Blueberries, widely recognized for their antioxidant capacity, have driven rapid growth in China's blueberry industry owing to their significant health benefits and economic value. However, a comprehensive evaluation for blueberry quality traits and antioxidant capacity remains lacking in China's domestic research. This study systematically evaluated 26 highbush blueberry cultivars with consistent tree age and cultivation practices, which can better reflect cultivar-dependent trait variation. Key findings revealed Earliblue exhibited the highest soluble solid content (SSC) and the lowest titratable acidity (TA), while Bluechip had the most abundant vitamin C (VC). Glucose and fructose were the main components of soluble sugars in highbush blueberries, accounting for over 97% of the total s
