However, there was an increase in the antioxidant capacity of strawberries and raspberries during
storage at temperatures >0 °C, which was accompanied by increases in anthocyanins in strawberries
and increases in anthocyanins and total phenolics in raspberries. Ascorbate content differed more
than 5-fold among the four fruit species; on average, strawberries and raspberries had almost 4-times

strawberries or highbush blueberries during 8 days of storage at the various temperatures,
