Abstract
⺠Thermal transitions of cuticles and pulp of two blueberry cultivars were analyzed. ⺠Water transitions of both cultivars showed differences associated their soluble solids content. ⺠Tg' values were attributed to sugar composition (glucose and fructose) present in the fruit. ⺠Endothermic transition at 50 °C was associated of melting of epicuticular wax in the cuticles. ⺠Internal structure of blueberry is affected by the high freezable water content during freezing.
