Absztrakt (kivonat)

Due to the increasingly extreme climatic conditions in Hungary, the significance of wildgrowing fruit species is rising year by year, particularly those that meet both the qualitative and quantitative demands of the processing industry and consumer markets. Cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) is gaining prominence owing to its resilience against harsh environmental factors, its suitability for organic cultivation due to the absence of major pests and pathogens, its outstanding nutritional composition, and, notably, its inclusion as a subsidized fruit crop in Hungary’s agricultural support system from 2024 onward. The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the fruit quality characteristics of three cultivated Cornelian cherry varieties (‘Lutea’, ‘Kazanlak’ and ‘Jolico’) and nine wildgrowing genotypes from different growing sites, with particular emphasis on physical (size parameters, weight, stone-to-flesh ratio) and physicochemical (°Brix, titratable acidity) properties. The fruit weight of wild genotypes ranged from 1.11 g to 2.05 g; stone weight from 0.17 g to 0.55 g; and flesh-to-stone ratio from 50.8% to 86.1%. In contrast, the cultivated varieties exhibited fruit weights between 2.12 g and 6.00 g; stone weights between 0.42 g and 0.92 g; and flesh-to-stone ratios ranging from 80.2% to 87.7%. The soluble solids content of the cultivated varieties ranged from 15.5% to 22.8%, while titratable acidity varied between 0.89% and 2.55%. Significant differences were observed among the cultivated varieties depending on the growing region and cultivation technology. For the successful domestic cultivation of Cornelian cherry, further variety evaluation studies and breeding - selection - research tailored to changing climatic conditions are essential. The fruit of Cornelian cherry is not only a unique raw material that enriches the product assortment, but also offers a competitive alternative for the food industry and holds considerable potential for food innovation.
