Weston or creamy strawberry is one of the less-known species of the genus (Rosaceae family) with a wide distribution in Eurasia and is still in the shadow of more popular relatives (garden strawberry) or (wild strawberry). Importantly, there is a lack of scientific knowledge on compounds, their stability in the postharvest period, and bioactivity. In this study, metabolites of fruits in three ripening stages were characterized with high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array and electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometric detection (HPLC-PAD-ESI-tQ-MS).
