APPLICATION OF HARRINGTON’S DESIRABILITY FUNCTION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE QUALITY EVALUATION OF THE GARDEN STRAWBERRY BERRIES
Abstract
A comprehensive evaluation of strawberry quality of the cultivars Festyvalna Romashka, Rusanivka, Honey, Polka, Dukat and Pegas was undertaken with the application of Harrington’s desirability function. Indexes of average weight of fruits and sugar-acid index, ascorbic acid content, general organoleptic evaluation were investigated and on their basis general desirability evaluation was calculated. It is proved that strawberry of Honey, Polka cultivars have good quality according to Harrington’s desirability function, which substantiates their applicability in the production of strawberry preserves. The results of the research indicate that the application of the generalized Harrington’s desirability function is promising for a comprehensive quality evaluation of garden strawberry berries, which makes it possible to compare the obtained results by a single complex indicator.
