The quality of strawberries ( Fragaria ∞ ananassa Duch. cvs. Oso Grande and Camarosa) non wrapped or packed in cellulose, perforated polypropylene, nonperforated polypropylene (automatically), and polyvinylchloride (manually) during storage at 18°C was compared. Nonperforated polypropylene packages of fruit had the highest CO 2 and the lowest O 2 content, and the most desirable quality parameters. However, this type of package had undesirable appearance due to water condensation. Cellulosic films maintained a well balanced internal atmosphere, but were wrinkled. Perforated polypropylene and polyvinylchloride packages exhibited the best appearance, but fruits packed in perforated polypropylene o films rapidly deteriorated. Unwrapped fruits had the least desirable quality in both varieties.
