Quality of strawberries after storage in constant or fluctuating temperatures.

Author(s) : NUNES M. C. N., EMOND J. P.

Summary

Cumulative degree day were used for two different temperature regimes, constant and fluctuating. Temperature regimes had no significant effect on color, total anthocyanins, soluble-solids content, acidity and sucrose content of strawberries. Weight loss and pH were higher, and firmness and glucose content were lower in fruits from the fluctuating temperatures treatment than in others. The concept of degree day cannot be applied to predict the effects of temperature on quality of strawberry since some quality parameters were dependent on the temperature pattern. If a constant temperature of about 1 °C cannot be maintained? a range of 1.0 to 5.5 °C should be acceptable for good quality.
