Temperature And Humidity Optimization To Add Save Life Strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis, L.)

Abstract

This study aims to determine the appropriate temperature and humidity in the storage of strawberries, this research was carried out using 3 humidity treatments and 3 temperatures, namely humidity 65%, 75%, and 85% with a temperature of 10 oC, 15 oC, and room temperature, fruit fruit stored at room temperature lasts up to 3 days, while at 10 oC the fruit with 65% humidity treatment lasts up to 6 days, with 75% humidity for 6 days and with 85 % humidity it lasts for 7 days, at 15 oC the fruit with 65% humidity treatment lasts 5 days, with 75% humidity for 5 days and with 85% humidity lasts for 6 days, so based on research that has been done it is known that 85% humidity treatment with a temperature of 10 oC is the right storage for strawberries. The longest shelf life of strawberries is with a humidity treatment of 85% which is stored at 10 oC, which can extend the shelf life of 4 days longer when compared to storage at room temperature.
