The blackberry, red raspberry and strawberry plants were
acquired from the south of Minas Gerais, whereas the blueberry
and cherry plants were acquired from a producer in São Paulo.
The fruits were harvested at their physiological maturity in the
morning and transported in Styrofoam boxes to the post-harvest
fruit and vegetable laboratory of the Universidade Federal de Lavras.
Upon delivery, the fruits were sanitized, and all fruits were
stored in a cold room at 18 C during the analysis time.
