Abstract

Gray mold is a postharvest disease that causes significant economic losses and limits the shelf life of strawberries. This study aimed to assess the effect of a preharvest peracetic acid (PAA) treatment on the natural decay of strawberry fruits under room-temperature storage conditions similar to those during commercial operations in a retail market. The effect of the PAA pretreatment on disease development in strawberries artificially infected with Botrytis cinerea was also assessed. In vitro susceptibility tests revealed that mycelial growth and metabolic activity were inhibited by 50–250 ppm of PAA. A preharvest treatment with 200–800 ppm PAA significantly reduced the initial microbial load in strawberry fruits immediately after harvest by 0.3–0.9 log colony-forming units (CFU)/g. Moreover, 800 ppm PAA significantly reduced the natural decay of strawberry fruits, resulting in approximately 33% less spoilage compared to untreated fruits on day 5. The PAA pretreatment also reduced lesion development in strawberries artificially inoculated with B. cinerea in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with 800 ppm PAA most effectively reduced microbial populations and delaying the natural decay of strawberry fruits during room-temperature storage. These findings indicate that PAA is feasible as an alternative strategy for maintaining the quality of fresh strawberries and controlling decay in these fruits during room-temperature storage.
