Abstract
The research has been conducted upon the cheery species called Stella, Creska, Van and Bing that were raised on the island of Cres. The quality of the fruits was analysed by the following parameters: dry matter, total acidity, total soluble solid, pH and L-ascorbic acid. The purpose of this research was to establish if there were any differences in above parameters between the explored species. The given results show that there were significant differences between the sorts. The species Stella had the largest quantity of vitamin C which amounted to 15.1 mg/100g while the sort Creska and Van had a bigger amount of the soluble solid (from 16.49 to 16.6%) and total soluble solid (from 16.0 to 16.4 °Brix). All obtained values were within satisfactory limits. We can conclude that from the aspect of cultivation and climate conditions of the island of Cres the mentioned species have good quality fruits.
