Resumo
O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do estádio de amadurecimento na colheita (“1/3 maduro” e “3/4 maduro”, frutos com 30% e 75% de cor vermelha, respectivamente) e da atmosfera modificada (AM) passiva e ativa (com baixa pressão parcial inicial de O2 e/ou alta pressão parcial inicial de CO2) sobre a qualidade de morangos ‘San Andreas’, especialmente sobre compostos bioativos e metabolismo fermentativo. Os tratamentos avaliados foram: controle; AM passiva [embalagem de polietileno de baixa densidade (PEBD) de 40 µm]; AM ativa com baixo O2 inicial (1 kPa); AM ativa com alto CO2 inicial (30 kPa); e AM ativa com baixo O2 (1 kPa) e alto CO2 (30 kPa) iniciais. Após 14 dias de armazenamento (0,5±0,2 °C/92±2% de UR) e mais dois dias em condição ambiente (20±5 ºC/65±10% de UR), a perda de peso dos frutos foi maior no tratamento controle. Os sólidos solúveis e a acidez titulável não apresentaram diferenças entre os tratamentos avaliados. Os frutos do estádio “1/3 maduro” apresentaram-se menos vermelhos e mais firmes do que os do estádio “3/4 maduro” após o armazenamento. As condições de armazenamento não influenciaram na manutenção da textura dos frutos, mas todas as condições de AM reduziram a evolução da cor vermelha dos frutos, independentemente do estádio de amadurecimento. Os morangos colhidos no estádio “1/3 maduro” e armazenados em AM ativa com alto CO2 inicial apresentaram menores valores de incidência e severidade de podridões. O conteúdo de compostos fenólicos totais (CFT) e a atividade antioxidante total (AAT), de maneira geral, foram maiores nos frutos colhidos no estádio “1/3 maduro”. Os produtos do metabolismo fermentativo foram maiores em frutos colhidos no estádio “3/4 maduro” e armazenados em AM ativa com baixo O2 inicial. Frutos colhidos no estádio “1/3 maduro” apresentam maiores valores de CFT e AAT e menor incidência de podridões após o armazenamento. A utilização de AM ativa com alta pressão parcial inicial de CO2 preserva a vida pós-colheita de morangos ‘San Andreas’, pois reduz podridões sem causar incremento nos produtos do metabolismo fermentativo.
Introduction
Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) is considered one of the most important fruit in the world, being consumed in natura or in a wide range of processed products.
The distribution and commercialization of strawberry in natura at long distances is restrict due to its high perishability, soft texture, high loss of texture and high susceptibility to decay (LU et al., 2018).
Postharvest handling practices, such as cold storage, change of storage atmosphere, physical treatments and fruit treatment with edible coatings can reduce the rate of deterioration and maintain product quality after prolonged storage and during marketing (SIDDIQUI, 2018).
Treatment with high CO2 can improve the storage potential of the fruit by the activation of genes related to the abiotic stress and deactivation of genes associated to the disassembly of cell wall (BANG et al., 2018). Atmospheres with high CO2 (≥15 kPa) delay the loss of texture and senescence of the fruit, as well as decay (VAZQUEZHERNANDEZ et al., 2018).
There are no studies regarding the antioxidant activity, phenolic content and metabolites of fermentation metabolism at postharvest due to ripening stage at harvest and the use of conservation technologies in ‘San Andreas’ strawberries produced under Brazilian edaphoclimatic conditions.
This work was carried out to evaluate the effect of fruit ripening stage at harvest and modified atmosphere (MA) condition (passive or active) on quality of ‘San Andreas’ strawberries, with emphasis on bioactive compounds and metabolites of fermentative metabolism.
Materials and methods
‘San Andreas’ strawberries were harvested in two ripening stages (“1/3 ripe” and “3/4 ripe”, respectively with 30% and 75% of red color) in a commercial production area conducted under conventional system, in Lages, SC (27º48’58” S and 50º19’34” W, altitude of 884 m), in June (winter harvest) of 2018.
Fruit were left in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) trays (with capacity for 200 g) then covered by a film of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and packed in corrugated cardboard boxes used for transport and marketing of strawberries. Fruit were then submitted to the following treatments: control; passive MA; active MA with initial low O2 (1 kPa); active MA with initial high CO2 (30 kPa); and active MA with initial low O2 (1 kPa) and high CO2 (30 kPa). Fruit submitted to all MA conditions were packed with a low density polyethylene (LDPE; 40 μm) and then the air was suctioned (until the film molded to the boxes). For treatments with active MA, after the air suction, N2 and/or CO2 were injected (from high pressure cylinders with minimum purity of 99.9%) to achieve the partial pressures of O2 and/or CO2 established in each active MA treatment. Fruit of all treatments were cold stored (0.5±0.2ºC and RH of 92±2%) for 14 days, followed by two days of shelf life (20±5 ºC and 65±10% RH), and then assessed for quality.
The partial pressures of O2 and CO2 inside the packages of MA treatments along the storage period (which changed as a result of respiration of the fruit and film permeability to the gases) were assessed every three days with a gas analyzer (Shelle, Germany).
Fruit were assessed in terms of weight loss, skin color (L, C and h°), soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), skin and flesh textures, total phenolic compounds (TPC), total antioxidant activity (TAA) and incidence of decay, according the methodology described by Soethe et al. (2016). Skin and flesh texture were assessed with a texturometer TAXT-Plus®, with a PS2 probe (diameter of 2 mm) introduced into the flesh at 10 mm depth. The results were expressed in Newton (N).
Fruit were also assessed in terms of severity of decay according the following scale (% of fruit with decay): 1= < 25%; 2 = 26-50%; 3 = 51-75%; and 4 = ≥76%.
The products of fermentative metabolism (acetaldehyde, ethanol and ethyl acetate) were assessed by gaseous chromatography (with a Clarus 580 chromatographer, Perkin Elmer) equipped with a capillary column Elite-wax (Perkin Elmer, with length of 30 m, internal diameter of 0.25mm and follicular diameter of 0.25 μM), with nitrogen flow of 1 mL min-1, injector and detector temperatures of 180 ºC and 250 ºC, respectively, initial temperature of 40 ºC for 2.20 minutes, followed by an increase to 45 ºC for 30 minutes, and then an increase to 70 ºC for 0.10 minutes. Fruit of each treatment had a slice removed at the middle portion and the tissue processed in a centrifuge for juice extraction. Samples of 20 mL of juice were collected in vials (volume of 40 mL) and stored in freezer at -18 ºC until analysis. Before the analysis in the cromatographer, the samples were defrozeed and left in water bath at 70 ºC for 1 hour. Samples were removed from the water bath, left for 15 minutes (to allow juice droplets to condense leaving only the gas), and four headspace samples were collected from these containers using a 1.0 mL plastic syringe, following the injection into the gas chromatographer.
The experiment followed a randomized factorial design (2 x 5), with two ripening stages and five storage conditions, and five replicates of 20 fruit. Percentage values were transformed to arcsine [(x+0.5)/100]1/2 before the statistical analysis. Data were submitted to analysis of variance and treatment means compared by Tukey’s test (p<0.05).
Results and discussion
Strawberry ‘San Andreas’ harvested “1/3 ripe” had skin color with lightness (L) of 36.4 and hº of 38.6, SSC of 6.7 ºBrix, TA of 0.24%, SSC/TA ratio of 27.9, and skin and flesh textures of 2.3 N and 1.2 N, respectively.
Fruit harvested “3/4 ripe” had skin color with L of 34.8 and hº of 36.2, SSC of 7.5 ºBrix, TA of 0.23%, SSC/TA ratio of 32.6, and skin and flesh textures of 1.7 N and 0.9 N, respectively. Figure 1 shows the partial pressures of O2 and CO2 in the atmosphere for the different treatments along 14 days of storage. Control treatment (without MA) had no substantial changes of O2 and CO2 along the storage period. Passive MA had a reduction of O2, reaching 9.3 kPa at 9 days of storage, and an increase of CO2, reaching 3.6 kPa at 5 days of storage. Active MA with initial low O2 (1 kPa) had an increase of O2, reaching 11.1 kPa at 12 days of storage, while CO2 increased to 5.0 kPa at 9 days of storage. Active MA with initial high CO2 (30 kPa) exhibit a rapid decrease of CO2 until the 5th day of storage (6.7 kPa) and remained almost constant for the remaining period of storage, while O2 decreased to ~8 kPa after the 12th day of storage. Active MA with initial low O2 and high CO2 had a reduction of CO2 similar to the treatment of active MA with initial high CO2, while O2 had an increase of O2 similar to the treatment of active MA with initial low O2.
Figure 1
Partial pressures of O2 and CO2 (kPa) in different modified atmosphere conditions of ‘San Andreas’ strawberry harvested at two ripening stages (“1/3 ripe” and “3/4 ripe”) during 14 days of cold storage (0.5±0.2 °C/92±2% RH). Fruit of both ripening stages were stored in the same condition (MA packaging).
Strawberries have a high respiratory rate, but there is a slow change in the atmosphere of passive MA throughout the consumption of O2 and production of CO2 by fruit, as a result of film high permeability to the gases in the packaging. Therefore, the partial pressure of O2 might not decrease and partial pressure of CO2 may not increase to the values required to preserve fruit quality. However, in active AM, low initial partial pressures of O2 and/or high initial partial pressures of CO2 act from the beginning of storage on fruit metabolism preserving fruit quality.
SSC and SSC/TA ratio were not different between treatments of MA. However, these variables were lower in fruit harvested “3/4 ripe” (data not shown). TA and skin color attributes (L, C and ho) were not different between harvesting stages and storage conditions (data not shown).
Values of skin and flesh textures were higher in fruit harvested “1/3 ripe”, but this attributes were not affected by MA conditions (data not shown).
The control had the highest loss of fruit weight, without a difference between the MA conditions (Figure 2). This result shows the effectiveness of LDPE film as barrier to water vapor, therefore increasing the water vapor pressure inside the packaging and reducing fruit water loss.

Ripening stages: “1/3 ripe” = 30% of red color; “3/4 ripe” = 75% of red color. Bars followed by the same letter are not different by Tukey’s test (p<0.05). ns = not significant.
Similar results were reported by Kahramanoğlu (2019).
According to the author, MA reduces fruit mass loss by reducing fruit respiration and transpiration. The loss of fruit weight was not affected by harvesting stage (Figure 2). However, even in the control, the loss of fruit weight was low. According to García et al. (1998), strawberries loss marketing value when the loss of weight is higher than 6%. According to Kader (2002), the loss of fruit weight is the main cause of qualitative deterioration, depreciating the appeal (causing wilting and shrivel), texture (causing softening and loss of turgor and succulence) and nutritional quality, besides the direct quantitative loss.
Fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” had the lowest incidence and severity of decay after 14 days of storage followed by two days of shelf life (Figures 3 and 4). This might reflect the higher flesh firmness of fruit harvested at less advanced ripening stage, since ripening reduce flesh firmness and makes fruit more susceptible to fungal infection (CIA et al., 2010).

Ripening stages: “1/3 ripe” = 30% of red color; “3/4 ripe” = 75% of red color. Bars followed by the same letter are not different by Tukey’s test (p<0.05). ns = not significant.
Between the MA conditions, MA with high initial CO2 had the lowest incidence of decay, but being significantly different only from active MA with low initial O2 (Figure 3). The severity of decay was lowest in fruit in active AM with high initial CO2, and highest in the control (Figure 4). According to Cunha Júnior et al. (2012), active MA with initial high CO2 (40 kPa) was effective to preserve the quality of ‘Oso Grande’ strawberry stored at 10 °C, preserving the commercial quality and reducing the incidence of decay. Bang et al. (2018) reported in ‘Seolhyang’ strawberry exposed to 30 kPa of CO2 for short duration reduced incidence of gray mold. According to the authors, the reduced deterioration and better preservation of fruit quality under MA with initial high CO2 is due to cellular response in the fruit induced by the treatment with CO2 or to the direct effect of CO2 on mycelia growth and spore germination of the pathogen.
TPC was not different between MA conditions, but it was higher in fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” (Table 1).

Similarly, in ‘Oso Grande’ strawberry TPC was higher in fruit harvested less ripe (PINELI, 2009). In plants, phenolic compounds are structural components and pigments, besides their antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiviral action. The stress caused in the fruit by temperature and changes in partial pressures of gases during storage might activate secondary metabolism of cells and the production of phenolic compounds (JIN et al., 2011). Blanch et al. (2012) reported the increase of beneficial compounds in strawberry exposed to high CO2 (20 kPa) for three days, such as catechin and proanthocyanidins. Genotype and environmental conditions, as well as differences related to the extraction and analysis methods used in the different studies should be considered, since these might affect variables response to the treatments.
The highest values of TPC in fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” might also contributed to reduce their incidence and severity of decay (Figures 3 and 4). According to Jiao et al. (2018), chlorogenic acid induces the resistance at postharvest of peach fruit to blue mold (Penicillium expansum). Chlorogenic acid also inhibited spore germination and mycelia growth in vitro of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Fusarium solani, Verticillium dahliae, Botrytis cinerea and Cercospora sojina (MARTÍNEZ et al., 2017). Other authors also reported a relationship between reduced decay to the high phenolic content in the fruit. Preharvest treatment with salicylic acid (a phenolic compound) induces postharvest defense mechanisms against decay, preserves the quality, delays ripening and senescence and reduces ethylene synthesis and action (GIMÉNEZ et al., 2017).
Fruit harvested “3/4 ripe” had TAA values assessed by DPPH and ABTS methods, respectively 25% and 30% lower than fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” (Table 1). TAA of fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” was higher when they were stored in active MA with initial high CO2, with or without low initial O2. Fruit harvested “3/4 ripe” also had higher TAA when they were stored in active MA with initial high CO2, but without differing of passive MA (Table 1). According to Zheng et al. (2012), TPC and TAA values in the fruit are affected by maturity/ripening stage. Also, TAA in the fruit results of a variety of antioxidant compounds degraded and synthesized during the storage in response to biotic and abiotic stress (ROTILI et al., 2013).
The acetaldehyde content in fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” was significantly higher in the control than in MA storage (passive and active)(Table 2). Fruit harvested “3/4 ripe” had significantly higher acetaldehyde content in active MA with initial low O2. In fruit harvested “1/3 ripe”, the ethanol content was not different between treatments. Fruit harvested “3/4 ripe” had higher production of ethanol when stored in active MA with initial low O2. For storage in active MA with initial low O2 and high CO2, fruit harvested “3/4 ripe” had higher production of ethanol than fruit harvested “1/3 ripe”. Fruits harvested “3/4 ripe” had significantly higher ethyl acetate content when stored in active MA with initial low O2. On the other hand, fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” had the highest ethyl acetate content in the control, which differed statistically only from active AM with initial high CO2. The high contents of acetaldehyde, ethanol and ethyl acetate in fruits harvested “3/4 ripe” and stored in active AM with initial low O2 is detrimental, since the accumulation of these products is indicative of fermentative metabolism and fruits infection by pathogens (ÁVILA et al., 2012), causing off flavors.

Conclusions
The total antioxidant activity was higher in fruit harvested “1/3 ripe” (with 30% of red color), and increased in fruit stored in active modified atmosphere with initial high CO2, without or with initial low O2. The total phenolic content compounds was also higher in fruit harvested “1/3 ripe”.
Fruit stored in modified atmosphere with initial low O2 had higher contents of acetaldehyde, ethanol and ethyl acetate than fruit stored in modified atmosphere with initial high CO2, regardless of ripening stage at harvest.
‘San Andreas’ strawberry harvested “1/3 ripe” and stored in modified atmosphere with initial high CO2 have a better postharvest quality preservation, as a results of reduced fruit weight loss and decay, without increasing the metabolites of the fermentative metabolism.
