Summary

The influence of cultivar on responses of strawberry fruits to 20 kPa CO2 or air storage at 2 °C was measured for 7 days. CO2 storage increased firmness of all 7 cultivars over air storage, but the degree of increase was affected by cultivar and days in storage. CO2-treated fruits were lighter coloured and less intensely red than air-treated fruits. Accumulations of acetaldehyde, ethanol and ethyl acetate in CO2-treated fruits were strongly affected by cultivar.
