Abstract
The study of the chemical composition of fruits cherries: Gorsemska, Rexelle, Kelleris 14, Heimanns Konserven and Oblačinska, on rootstock mazzard (Prunus avium L.), was conducted over the three year period in the environmental conditions of Slavonia. Research has shown that the maximum soluble dry matter, the total amount and a reducing sugar is contained in fruits of varieties Rexelle and Kelleris 14, and the least in fruits of variety Oblačinska. Significant difference was found among the varieties of Rexelle and Kelleris 14 and the remaining three varieties. Equal amounts of soluble solids are contained in fruits of varieties Gorsemska and Heimanns Konserven, while the little higher amount of sugar is found in variety Gorsemska. The variety Heimanns contained slightly more sugar than Oblačinska, but this difference was not statistically significant. A low amount of saccharose was found in fruits of investigated varieties. The difference found in the amount of saccharose among varieties was not statistically justified. Significantly more of the total acids was contained in fruits varieties Gorsemska, Kelleris 14 and Oblačinska varieties then in fruits of varieties Rexelle and Heimanns. The pH values were in the range from 3,01 to 3,24.
