Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the storage of strawberries under LED lights on ‘Albion’ strawberry quality. The treatments were applied as follows; (1) storage under continuous blue, red, and ultraviolet-A (UVA) LED light, (2) storage in the dark conditions (control), and (3) storage in the dark conditions after 1 h UVA (UVAh) LED lighting. Strawberries were stored at a temperature of 4±1oC with 85-90% relative humidity for 10 days. In the study, analyses were conducted on the total anthocyanin content, color (L*, hue angle, redness index), total soluble solids (TSS), fructose, glucose, total sugar content, titratable acidity (TA), fruit firmness (N), and weight loss at the start of the experiment and at 2-day intervals during storage. According to the results, the storage of strawberries under continuous red-LED light was successful in improving the anthocyanin and TSS contents, while preserving fruit firmness and reducing weight loss. Moreover, UVA treatment was effective in maintaining the L*, a*, and b* color values, whereas UVAh was effective on the hue angle and redness index. Furthermore, UVAh treatment caused a decrease in the glucose, fructose, and total sugar content and, in the titratable acidity of the strawberries.
