In our study, total phenolic and total anthocyanin content were
variable in strawberry extract treated with different UV-C illumination
dosages. Strawberries stored at 10 ◦C for 15 days had
a higher total phenolic content than strawberries stored for 5
and 10 days. This increase with the storage duration occurred in
all UV-C treatments. In control fruit, phenolic content increased
during the first 10 days of storage then decreased after 15 days
of storage. Previous studies have shown that the amount of total
phenolic content in strawberries depends on the storage temperature
and atmospheric compositions
