Résumé

Sensory evaluation plays a key role in characterizing different cultivars. The eating quality of new European Pyrus communis cultivars with those of traditional cultivars were compared. Fruits were tasted by a trained panel after cold storage followed by ripening to a firmness of about 1.5 kg. Harrow Delicious and Williams cultivars were compared and found to have similar eating quality, but Williams had a higher rating for the coarseness criterion. Elliot, a bronze cultivar, was characterized by high astringency, but was otherwise comparable to Conference. Winter Forelle was a remarkably stable cultivar with a characteristic high crunchiness rating, but its other sensory criteria received lower ratings. In the category represented by Doyenné du Comice, Taylor's Gold (a bronze cultivar) was characterized by strong gustatory qualities and marked astringency. Angélys had eating quality very similar to those of Doyenné du Comice. Verdi had more marked astringency and high acidity characteristics.
