UK: Albion has 'twice the flavour' of other strawberry varieties, say scientists
Although strawberry varieties may all look the same to consumers, they vary considerably in taste. Scientists have found that the difference is due to the relative proportions of the many flavour compounds the berries contain.
A study coordinated by Dr Hazel MacTavish-West, a Cambridge-based plant scientist, on behalf of Hargreaves Plants, discovered that good flavour is as important as sweetness and acidity to the consumer's enjoyment of strawberries.
The basic aim of her work was to compare people's opinions of seven strawberry varieties' flavour and colour with the results of laboratory analyses of flavour compounds.
Researchers at the University of Nottingham found that more than 50 compounds contribute to the fruit's taste.
