Abstract : Blueberry fruits were harvested in the middle summer in western part of Georgia. After harvesting average samples of fruits were treated with combined water solution (CS) of ascorbic acid (0.5%), salicylic acid (0.03%) and methyl jasmonate (0.002%). Data showed that treatment with CS caused significant retention of polyphenols degradation process during storage period. Antioxidant activity of fresh fruits was equal to 689.22±34.46 mg equivalents of vitamin-C per 100 g of fruits. During storage this value decreased to423.15±21.15 and 589.62±29.48 mg equivalents of vitamin-C per 100 g of fruits for control and treated samples respectively. After 7 days storage period TSS of fruits decreased from 12.47±0.62 % to 10.25±0.51 % in control samples and to 12.00±0.6 % in treated samples probably because of respiration process. Difference between the treated and untreated samples was statistically significant (p<0.05). Keywords - Blueberry, cold storage, combined solution.
