Abstract

The study investigated the effects of chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas on the postharvest quality of raspberries (cv Grandeur) during storage. Weight loss, color, total soluble solids content (TSSC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, vitamin C, total phenols, anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity were evaluated. The ClO2 positively influenced weight loss, color, TA, TSSC and antioxidant capacity. Moreover, ClO2 treatment decreased the total yeast and mold count. In contrast, the vitamin C, anthocyanins and total phenolics were not influenced by the ClO2 treatment.
