Colorimetric parameter A that shows the redness of barberry fruits had the lowest rate in
sun-drying method and first harvest date, and the highest rate in shade-drying method and third harvest date. The result also, shows that the sun-drying and industrial method caused damage to barberry pigments (color quality of production is reduced).
This also was confirmed via the results of sensory tests, and the Panelists gave the most points to the taken samples during the second harvest date in
cluster-picking approach and the shade-drying method. The lowest scores of the Panelists were
belonged to the samples taken with impact force and the first harvest date in sun-drying approach.
