چکیده :

Strawberry is highly perishable fruit, mostly due to their susceptibility to mechanical injury, water loss, physiological deterioration, and microbial decay after harvest. This study aimed to investigate the effects of salicylic acid (0, 1, and 2 mM) on maintaining the quality and shelf life of strawberry fruits cv. ‘Sabrina’ during 10 days of storage at 4 ±0.5 ˚C with 90-95% RH. Physico-chemical characteristics were monitored during storage at 5-day intervals. The results showed that SA treatments and storage time had no significant effect on the total soluble solids. SA treatment substantially decreased the physiological loss in weight and fruit softness as compared to the control samples. In addition, total anthocyanin content and ascorbic acid content were higher in SA-treated fruits at the end of storage. Total phenolic content and total antioxidant activity were not affected by SA treatment. Overall, these findings suggest that SA treatment exhibits a high potential in preserving the postharvest quality of strawberry fruit.
