Abstract:  Fresh strawberry fruits were dipped in different concentrations of phytic acid solution or potassium sorbate solution for 30 s and then stored under normal temperature condition in order to investigate the storage stability of strawberry through the determination of sugar content and acidity. The results showed that the preservation by 0.05% to 0.15% phytic acid can slow down the degradation of vitamin and keep reducing sugar and total acid contents. The storage period of strawberry is extended obviously by 7-day preservation of phytic acid at the normal temperature.
