这项研究的目的是评估全球市场上销售的草莓的质量。我们从埃及、墨西哥、韩国、西班牙和美国(美国)获得了在新加坡销售的草莓，并将它们与日本草莓(cv.使用仪器分析和感官评价。感官评定由新加坡和日本的评审员进行。结果表明，墨西哥、西班牙和埃及的草莓品质较接近，但其他地区的草莓品质差异较大。来自美国和日本的草莓具有较高的总可溶性固形物(TSS)含量，而来自埃及、墨西哥、西班牙和美国的草莓则更坚硬，具有更高的可滴定酸度(TA)。在感官评价中，评价员更喜欢总可溶性固形物(TSS)高、可滴定酸度(TA)低的草莓。这些结果表明，高TSS和低TA的品种是全球市场的理想品种。此外，与日本评审员相比，新加坡评审员倾向于选择TA较低的草莓。根据该地区的饮食习惯，这些偏好可能会发生变化。
The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of strawberries distributed in global markets. We obtained strawberries from Egypt, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, Spain, and the United States of America (US) being sold in Singapore, and compared them with Japanese strawberries (cv. Benihoppe) using instrumental analysis and sensory evaluation. Sensory evaluation was conducted by Singaporean and Japanese assessors. The results showed that the quality of strawberries in Mexico, Spain, and Egypt were relatively close, but the others were significantly different. The strawberries from the US and Japan had high total soluble solids (TSS) content, while those from Egypt, Mexico, Spain, and the US were firmer and had higher titratable acidity (TA). In the sensory evaluation, the assessors preferred strawberries with high total soluble solids (TSS) and low titratable acidity (TA). These findings suggest that varieties with high TSS and low TA are desirable for the global market. In addition, compared with the Japanese assessors, the Singaporean assessors tended to prefer strawberries with lower TA. These preferences may change depending on the eating habits of the region.
