Key Findings
- Researchers at The University of British Columbia developed a high-throughput method to measure red raspberry puree color
- The study analyzed 551 raspberry puree samples using a colorimeter and the Tomato Analyzer Color Test (TACT)
- TACT measurements showed that darker raspberry colors corresponded with higher anthocyanin content
- TACT with 96-well plates allows for efficient, large-scale color measurement in raspberry breeding programs
