The soluble solid content and single fruit weight of strawberries cv. Mei 13 increased as fruits matured. The soluble protein content was highest, but superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was lowest in the fruitlet. The soluble protein content increased but SOD activity decreased as fruits senesced. With low temperature (0 deg C) or calcium dip plus high temperature (38 deg for 24 h) treatment, the number of rotten fruits and the decline in SOD activity were reduced significantly and storage quality was improved. Soluble protein content was also reduced by these treatments.
