Abstract
Fruits and vegetables are living tissues subjected to quality changes after harvesting. The loss of strawberries can reach 40% during storage. In order to investigate the effects of postharvest application of nanocomposite packaging on shelf life and quality characteristics of strawberry fruit, a factorial experiment was conducted with two factors, including conventional polymer packaging (control) and nanocomposite in four types (nano-silver based on polyethylene, nanosilver based on polypropylene containing, nano-silicate based on polyethylene, nano-silicate based on polypropylene) and time of storage in four levels (at the beginning and 3, 7 and 10 days after storage) in a completely randomized design with four replications at agricultural College and School of Medical Sciences, Urmia University. The results showed that the over time of maintenance, total phenol content and fruit decay rate of fruits stored in conventional polymeric containers more than nanocomposite containers containing silver and silicate. While, by the use of nanocomposite containers containing silver and silicate increased the amount of ascorbic acid content in strawberry fruit. Ascorbic acid content of fruits significantly reduced with the passage of storage time. While strawberry fruit acidity significantly increased. Also, fruits stored in nano-silicate and nano-silicate based on polyethylene and polypropylene containers generally emitted lower levels of weight loss compounds than those stored in conventional polymer.
