Abstract :In this study, pomological properties, chemical compositions, and production possibilities of fruits harvested at the maturity stage of four strawberry cultivars (Albion, Camarosa, Amiga, and Sabrina) grown in a commercially produced orchard were investigated. Fruit weight (16.33 g) was found to be higher in the Albion variety. The fruit length of the Camarosa strawberry variety was 42.05 mm and the longest fruit width was 31.56 mm. The Camarosa variety reached the highest yield with 736.55 g per plant, followed by the Albion variety (523.88 g) and the Amiga variety (324.48 g). The total phenol content of strawberry fruits (231.76 mg GAE 100 g-1), and antioxidant capacity (322.51µmol TE 100 g-1 ) were highest in Amiga and the lowest in Sabrina (43.61 mg GAE 100 g-1). In terms of the amount of water-soluble dry matter (SSCM) of strawberry fruits, the highest SSC content was determined in the Camarosa variety with 7.60%. The highest amount of titratable acid, pH, and vitamin C were found in the Sabrina cultivar, 0.70 g citric acid 100 mL-1 , 4.04%, and 137.04 mg 100 g-1, respectively.
