Variety traits

Strawberry transportability

Fragaria L.

A complex indicator of the ability of strawberry fruits to maintain their commercial and consumer properties during transportation and storage, determined by flesh firmness and biochemical composition.

In the reference 18 varieties crop Strawberry, where this is mentioned in the description.

The key physical criterion for strawberry transportability is flesh firmness, which is measured using penetrometers. Biochemical indicators that determine high shelf life include a dry matter content of 11–12%, a protopectin concentration of over 0.6%, and a fiber content of more than 1.2%.

This indicator is considered a priority when selecting commercial varieties, as it determines the geography of supply. When storage conditions are maintained, such as a temperature of 0.5°C and a relative humidity of 90%, fruits of varieties with high transportability maintain their quality for up to 9–11 days.
