Strawberry process factors to record
Strawberries contain substantial water and vary with variety and ripeness. Standardize preparation and loading so batches can be compared. A nominal fresh-load range is a selection reference; usable tray area and layer depth are also important.
- Whole, halved, sliced, or diced format
- Ripeness, soluble solids, and incoming temperature
- Weight and layer depth on each tray
- Finished color, center dryness, texture, and package stability
