Nutritional quality of strawberries comes mostly due
to the large amount of containing vitamin C. There is
a need of proper strawberry storage to preserve the
high amount of vitamin C.
Vitamin C was determined by the Tillmans method in
strawberries stored at: room temperature, temperature
of 4 0C (cooling) and at temperature of -18 0C (freezing).
The storage was up to 11 days. Results were processed
with t- test and after statistical processing we calculated
the Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
In all three storage conditions there is a reduction of
vitamin C amount. The amount of vitamin C in fresh
strawberries is 60.85 mg/100 g and after 5 days it is
only 7.57 mg/100 g for the strawberries stored at room
temperature, 43.30 mg/100 g for the strawberries
stored under cooling conditions and 44.54 mg/100 g
for the frozen strawberries. After 11 days, there is almost
no vitamin C (0.55 mg/100 g) in the strawberries
stored at room temperature, the amount of vitamin C
in the frozen strawberries was 28.21 mg/100 g, and in
the cooling strawberries there was the highest amount
of vitamin C that achieved 37.92 mg/100 g. For strawberries
stored at room temperature and for freezing
strawberries there is the highest value for Pearson’s
correlation coefficient and r = 0.93871402. This coefficient
it is lower for cooled strawberries and freezing
strawberries, r = 0.887226935.
Vitamin C reduces differently in strawberries stored in
different conditions. Until the fifth day, the tendency of
vitamin C reduction is the smallest for the frozen strawberries,
and after the fifth day it is the smallest for the
cooling strawberries.
Key words: Strawberries, Vitamin C, Storage, Cooling,
Freezing.
