Location: Horticultural Crops Research

Project Number: 5358-21000-036-08
Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Sep 25, 2003
End Date: Jan 31, 2005

Objective:
Determine the critical compositional and quality indices for new small fruit crops having commercial potential for the Pacific Northwest.

Approach:
Obtain samples from collaborators. Additional samples may be obtained from commercial growers and also harvested in the wild. Evaluation materials include: Chokeberries, Blue Honeysuckle, Elderberry, Schisandra, Hardy Kiwifruit, Lingonberry, Huckleberries, Oregon Grape and Salalberries. Total acidity, pH and brix will be determined for all samples.Documents SCA with OR State U. Formerly 5358-21000-031-15S (10/04).
