Abstract
Strawberry is known for their distinctive flavors and unique taste, which are abundant in sugars, organic acids, and various volatiles.
Among the berries strawberry is highly perishable and susceptible to rapid spoilage.
Two strawberry cultivars, namely ‘Rubygem’ and ‘Calinda’, were cultivated within the commercial greenhouse situated in Adana, Turkey.
Before the 5-day fruit harvest, when individual strawberries had reached a stage of three-quarters to full red coloration,
-aminobutyric acid (GABA) application was performed.
In order to evaluate the effects of GABA spray applications on the amount of sugar content, organic acids, and volatile compositions stored at 2°C and 90% RH, the samples were evaluated for 21 days.
Therefore, investigating the biochemical compositions affected by cold storage is beneficial in illustrating the fundamental quality changes of strawberry fruit during cold storage.
The findings revealed that, when compared to the control, preharvest applications in strawberry had positive effects on sugar content, organic acids, and volatile composition.
