Strawberries are among the most popular and attractive fruits due to their high visual appeal and desirable flavour. As strawberry is a non-climacteric fruit, it is harvested essentially fully ripe. However, the fruit has a high rate of metabolism and deteriorates in a relatively short time, even without the presence of decay-causing pathogens. The fruits are very soft and very susceptible to mechanical injury, physiological disorders, fungal attack and water loss. The resultant short post-harvest life limits consumer access to and fresh market potential for this valuable fruit crop. The present chapter embodies appropriate post-harvest technologies for successful handling and storage of strawberry in light of available literature.
