Difference Between Brightwell And Tifblue
Maturity effects: Maturity at harvest had a marked effect on ORAC, total anthocyanins and total phenolics of the berries, for the "Brightwell" and "Tifblue" cultivars of rabbiteye blueberries which were the only two cultivars evaluated. Berries harvested immediately after turning blue had lower ORAC and total anthocyanins than berries well matured that were harvested 49 days later. ORAC and total anthocyanins increased 224% and 261% respectively, in the "Brightwell" cultivar, while in "Tifblue" they increased 164% and 176% respectively, with increasing maturity. Total phenolics increased by 169% and 113% in the "Brightwell" and "Tifblue" cultivars, respectively, with increased
