| Abstract | Queen Garnet (QG) plums have considerably higher anthocyanin content (antioxidant) than other common plum varieties, and consequently have great potential to be marketed as value-added health products. 340,000 QG plum trees have been planted across Australia with fruit volume forecasts that currently exceed domestic demand. Of this, 30% of fruit in 2020 was composite, lower-grade fruit sent for processing, however 15% still ended up in landfill. Nutrafruit’s business plan is to expand its reach by spreading awareness of the benefits of the QG plum and grow the product market so this surplus fruit can be used. This can be achieved if the value-added products retain the key anthocyanin that gives the plum its renowned benefits. The objective of this research was to first identify any potential new product opportunities, quantify any potential issues regarding anthocyanin content loss throughout the supply chain, propose potential strategies to overcome this issue if it is significant, and enable some analytical capability at Nutrafruit to inform QA/QC and product claims. |
