Frozen strawberry suffers from color bleaching and texture
loss. Ca lactate treatment presumably stabilizes the original
structure of the strawberries and delays the changes of physico-
chemical properties while citric acid inhabits the browning
reaction and maintains anthocyanin content during
freezing. The precooling treatment did not appear any
enhancer affect in the quality indices of frozen berries. The
pretreatment with combination of 0.4% citric acid – 1%
Ca lactate dip achieved the highest quality attributes, including
reduction in drip loss and enhancement of firmness and
the retention of ascorbic acid and anthocyanin content as
well as color attributes.
