In tables 14 and 15 . The L* value of color (variation between 0 = black and 100 = white) of strawberries showed small changes along 14 d shelf life at 0.5 ̊ C, changing from 38.97 to 45.65 for AL and from 39.70 to 46.2 for PE (Tables 14 and 15). Although with significant differences in some treatments, maximum changes for each treatment did not exceed the value 4.5 for L*, which did not alter significantly the color parameter. There were no significant differences between AL and PE (P = 0.088). Similar behavior was observed for hue color value (Tables 14 and 15).
