Fruitprofiel
Fruitprofiel is an analytical and descriptive framework used to characterize individual fruit cultivars or batches. It typically consolidates information on physical attributes such as size, shape, skin colour, firmness and aroma, as well as biochemical parameters including sugars, acids, vitamin content and the presence of pesticide residues. The term is primarily used in Dutch agricultural and food‑industry contexts, but equivalent concepts exist internationally under names such as fruit profile, fruit fingerprint or cultivar database.
In practice a fruitprofiel is generated through standardized sampling and measurement. Physical traits are recorded by
Fruitprofielen serve multiple purposes. For growers they support cultivar selection and breeding programmes, allowing comparison of
Because fruit characteristics can vary with climate, soil and post‑harvest handling, fruitprofielen are typically updated regularly.
