In Poland export of fresh and frozen strawberries to UE countries plays an important role in the state economy. To increase competiveness of Polish strawberries vs Moroccan, Chineese and Spanish ones, there is a need of introducing new table cultivars to cultivation. The aim of the study was to determine chosen chemical parametres of fresh and frozen fruit of ‘Pandora’, ‘Elsanta’, ‘Senga Sengana’, ‘Tarda Vicoda’ , ‘Marmolada’ (‘Onebor’) and ‘Kent’ cultivars. The strawberries were grown on plantation situated near to Szczecin in the 1999 and 2000 seasons. The two-year observation showed no statistically significant differences between cultivars as far as mean soluble solids and dry weight content of fruits was concerned. During low-temperature storage statistically significant decrease of vitamin C and saccharose was found. Fresh strawberry fruit had significantly higher content of these constituents than frozen ones after 4 and 8 months of cold storage.
