Abstract:

The trial was conducted in the year 2017 to observe the biochemical properties of strawberry cv. Camarosa by the pre-harvest application of chitosan, calcium chloride and low temperature storage (7 ÌŠC) condition. The maximum TSS was observed in T11 (Chitosan @ 6 g/L + CaCl2 @ 1.00% - 10.93°B). The maximum value of anthocyanin was recorded in T4 (CaCl2 @ 1.50% – 39.45 mg/100g) The least loss in physiological weight and have good shelf-life was recorded in T12 (Chitosan @ 6 g/L + CaCl2 @ 1.50% - 4.20%). At 7°C, the highest value of marketability percentage was found in T11 (Chitosan @ 6 g/L + CaCl2 @ 1.00% - 95.38%) which was at par with T12, T10 T9, T7, T8 and T5. Combined effect of calcium and chitosan resulted in delaying senescence, increasing shelf-life and firmness with higher fruit quality.
