Abstract
The objetive of this research was to check the utilization of fecula film to postharvest conservation of strawberry fruits were stored in ambient temperature (21oC; 64,5% RH). It was set out in a system randomized complete test with 2 factors and submited to Tukey test. In following, the fruits were submited by six differents treatments: 1) control (without film); 2) 1% fecula film; 3) 2% fecula film; 4) 3% fecula film; 5) 4% fecula film; 5) 5% fecula film. The valuation were done by 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days about weight loss, sensorial evaluation and quality visual (color and texture). At the end of 10 days the following was observed; smaller weight loss in the treatment with 1, 2 and 3% fecula film, and higher texture, increasing in until 5 times the postharvest life in the fruits. The result from the sensorial evaluation showed that no differences were noted.
