Good flavour in strawberry fruit is an attribute, which is gaining increasing importance in the production of strawberries. It is possible that the flavour of modern strawberry varieties has been sacrificed to an extent as a result of intensive production, and the tendency towards optimising yields, fruit shape and colour, and breeding resistance to pests and diseases. Flavour is now being ranked as being of equal importance with respect to other quality parameters. A research programme has therefore been put in place to identify the factors that influence flavour. The ultimate objective is to incorporate improved flavour into intensively produced strawberry fruits.
