To invedtigate the effect of refrigerate case on the Quality of strawberry during circulation, the temperature changes on the amounts of dry ice and ice cube were examined. And also, the effect of precooling on the changes in temperature and quality of the fruits were studied. Strawberry precooling-treated at 4 for 24hours was prolonged the shelf-life, and Quality was Progressed.150g of dry-ice Per kg of the strawberry was kept quality. It was prolonged more 2 days than present circulation system.

Circulation state and changes in quality during ripening of strawberry were investigated. Tissue damage of the fruit happened when it was harvested and selected. Strawberry has been harvested without considering of fruit temperature in the farm. It takes 25 hours from Goreung which is main production area of strawberry to retailer, and seasonal variation in the price was severe. Shelf-life of strawberry from Feb to Mar was 5-6 days, and was 24-30 hours from May to June. Desirable ripening stage was 28-30th day after blooming and 40th day and after this was over ripening stage when the degree of ripening estimated by color "a" value and color saturation. Overall eating quality and vitamin C contents and sugar content were more higher in the fruit of the desirable ripening stage than that of unripening and over ripening stage.
