Sažetak
Blueberries are becoming increasingly popular among consumers at the beginning of the 21st century due to their nutritional properties, which increases their demand. For this very reason, cultivated blueberries are becoming increasingly important in both global and Croatian fruit production. The mineral composition of the fruit is an important component that influences the quality of the fruit and its nutritional value. In this paper, the mineral composition of blueberries and their nutritional value are presented. Based on the literature studied, it was found that the most abundant macroelements in blueberries are nitrogen and potassium, while the microelements are manganese and iron. The main factors that have an influence on the mineral composition of blueberries, such as: cultivar, climate, soil, agro- and pomo-techniques, are also addressed. By selecting and controlling the above factors, it is possible to increase the quality of the fruit, but also to influence the mineral composition of blueberries.
