Abstract
This study was conducted to maintain the postharvest shelf-life of summer strawberry cultivars 'Goha' and 'Flamengo' through $CO_2$ (90%) and $ClO_2$ gas ($5{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$) pre-treatment. The respiration rate of 'Goha' and 'Flamengo' treated with $CO_2$ and $CO_2$ + $ClO_2$ was the lowest during storage. The weight loss with $CO_2$ + $ClO_2$ treatment was about 1% lower than the control group and 'Goha' was the lowest during storage. The pre-treatments effect on soluble solids contents was minimized. The firmness with $CO_2$ and $CO_2$ + $ClO_2$ treatments was only about 30% higher than $ClO_2$ and control. The firmness of 'Goha' was about 2.15N and 'Flamengo' was 2.37N, 15 days after storage. Decayed fruit was shown from after 6 days after storage in control. Control group lost quality 10 days after storage due to decayed fruit rate 20% of 'Goha' and 'Flamengo'. $CO_2$ and $CO_2$ + $ClO_2$ treatments showed the lowest decay rate during storage. Especially, 'Goha' showed around 5% decay fruit rate 10 days after storage. As a result, $CO_2$ + $ClO_2$ pre-treatment is recommended to extend the shelf-life of the summer strawberries.
