Study regarding the quality of fruits to some strawberry cultivars after storage period (original) (raw)

The fruit storage capacity is one of the fruit quality indicators as a final link of fruit production until the fruit reaches the final consumer. The fruit quality is given by different parameters which expresses a complete picture of the fruit characteristics. The strawberries fruits must be harvested at optimum maturity, otherwise, if harvested too early or too late, during the storage period, the fruit quality can be reduced. In the transport conditions over long distances to the market, the main issues of manufacturers are related to the fruits’ resistance, their capacity of maintaining the commercial aspect and less to maintain the traits like taste and flavor. Damage, spoilage of fruits during transport and storage period makes them unacceptable by consumers and vulnerable versus pathogens. The purpose of this paper was to identify the changes that occur on the fruit quality indicators during the storage period at six foreign strawberry cultivars (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) mo...
