Abstract: This paper studied the optimal environmental factors for strawberry storage and fresh keeping at normal temperature and the physio biochemical changes of strawberry during its storage. The results indicate that it was important to improve environmental factors, keep the temperature and moisture stable (about RH 80%, T 20℃) in storage room and make it sterilize, and put the strawberrys in a covered small box, which could make the storage extended to 2 days. With fresh keeping membrane, the duration of storage could be extended to 5 days. Among the test, fresh keeping membranes, LF1 and LF3 could keep the rate of good fruits by 69.27% and 69.94% after storing5 days. Fresh keeping membrane could inhibit the respiration and metabolism of strawberry, increase its SODactivity and ASAcontent, delay strawberry from decaying, and increase the rate of good fruits.
