Abstract

Abstract The effects of different concentrations (30, 50, and 70 kPa) and time (1 or 3 hr) of short‐term CO 2 gas treatment on the quality, safety, and shelf life of “Charlotte” strawberry were evaluated during storage at 4°C. Color attributes were better maintained in CO 2 treated strawberries while firmness increased significantly and maintained throughout the storage in 70 kPa CO 2 treatments compared to untreated control. Total soluble solid, pH, and titratable acidity did not show remarkable changes among the treatments. Total anthocyanins accumulation was significantly ( p ≤ .05) lower in fruits exposed to 70 kPa CO 2 for 1 hr than that of control but insignificantly lower with other CO 2 treatments at the end of storage while total phenolic content was almost unaffected by CO 2 treatment. Lower number of microbial population and better maintenance of sensory qualities were found in strawberries treated with 70 kPa CO 2 ; therefore, marketability extended by about 4 and 2 days compared to control and other CO 2 treatments, respectively. Practical applications These results suggest that the physicochemical, microbial, and sensory quality of strawberries were better maintained in fruits exposed to 70 kPa CO 2 either for 1 or 3 hr before storage than sample stored directly. The results of this study could be useful for maintaining the quality and extending the shelf life of “Charlotte” strawberry during storage or export at low temperature condition.
