In this study 9 strawberry varieties were observed. They were stored at room air temperatures as a model of the shelf life condition at green markets. The strawberry is a non-climasteric fruit and therefore, the shelf-life is quite short. There are, however, considerable differences among the strawberry varieties. Significant differences were found among the tested varieties. All tested varieties keep the marketable quality within 2 days, but the quality changed dramatically after the second day. It can be concluded that all varieties can be stored within considerable amount varieties of quality loss for one day, only some specially selected varieties are suitable for longer term storage in room air temperature. The results showed that varieties with larger water loss per surface area are more susceptible to fruit decay. Nerina and Fraroma varieties keep the fruit quality for 3 days, while the other varieties tested in this experiment showed great risk when storing at room temperature longer than 24 hours. For longer storage, special packing and cooling systems are necessary.
