Artur et al.(1995) investigated the effects of temperature and light on aroma volatile production in ‘Kent’ strawberries, and found that for strawberries at the white fruit stage, methyl and ethyl butanoate production was stimulated after storage for 3 days at 20 ◦C in light, whereas strawberries held at 20 ◦C in the dark or at 10 ◦C in both light and dark did not produce any detectable aroma volatiles. In our study, aroma volatile content was the lowest in non-bagged fruit thatwas exposed to full sunlight
