Summary

Fruits were stored at 2 °C in an atmosphere containing ozone (0.35 ppm). After 3 days at 2 °C, fruits were moved to 20 °C to mimic retail conditions. Changes in several quality parameters were evaluated. Ozone treatment was ineffective at preventing fungal decay. Significant differences in sugar and ascorbic acid contents were observed. At the end of cold storage, the vitamin C content of ozone-treated fruits was 3-times that of control fruits. Ozone treatment was detrimental to strawberry aroma.
