Red raspberries are valued for their color, flavor, and health-promoting organic compounds, which may be affected by increased temperatures due to climate change. This work aimed to provide new information on the response of raspberry cv. "Heritage" to thermal increase and its impact on fruit quality and perceived flavor. The study was conducted during two seasons in two locations with contrasting agroclimatic conditions. A zone with high background temperatures (central orchard) and low background temperatures (southern orchard) were studied. The treatments were three heating chambers installed at the fruit set, increasing the ambient temperature by ~4 °C, and untreated controls. Heat-treated raspberries were larger than the controls but showed softer fruit. Soluble solids were lower in treated fruit, while titratable acidity did not show a consistent pattern between treatments or orchards. Flavonoid content and anthocyanins did not present a clear pattern for both orchards and seasons. Heated raspberries had lower vitamin C in both years and orchards. The sensory analysis revealed differences only in color uniformity in the heated fruit from the central zone. Increased temperatures will affect the quality and nutritional aspects of the raspberries; however, at a sensory level, these changes may not be perceived.
红树莓因其颜色、风味和促进健康的有机化合物而受到重视,而气候变化导致的气温升高可能会对这些方面产生影响。这项工作旨在提供有关树莓品种“传统”对温度升高的响应及其对果实品质和感知风味影响的新信息。该研究在两个季节于两个农业气候条件截然不同的地点进行。研究了一个背景温度高的区域(中部果园)和一个背景温度低的区域(南部果园)。处理方式为在坐果期安装三个加热室,使环境温度升高约4°C,以及未处理的对照。热处理的树莓比对照更大,但果实更软。处理过的果实中可溶性固形物含量较低,而可滴定酸度在处理或果园之间未呈现一致模式。两个果园和两个季节的类黄酮含量和花青素含量均未呈现明确模式。在两年和两个果园中,加热处理的树莓维生素C含量均较低。感官分析仅显示中部区域加热果实的颜色均匀度存在差异。气温升高将影响树莓的品质和营养方面;然而,在感官层面,这些变化可能无法被察觉。
