Effects of temperature, duration of cold storage and packaging on postharvest quality of strawberry fruit.

 

Strawberry fruits (cultivars Fern, Brighton and Selva), covered with plastic film or uncovered, were stored at 3, 6 or 20 deg C for 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8 days. Fruit firmness, weight, colour values (L*, a* and b*) and titratable acidity decreased during storage, while pH, soluble solids and a*:b* ratio increased. Ascorbic acid content did not change significantly. Weight loss during storage was least at a storage temperature of 3 deg (4.60, 4.96 and 3.68% for Fern, Brighton and Selva, respectively, after 6 days (uncovered fruits)). Weight loss was significantly reduced by covering with plastic film. The longest storage life was 6 days at 3 deg for the covered fruits and 4 days at 3 deg for the uncovered fruits. Selva performed best of the 3 cultivars, due to its greater fruit firmness.
