“…These results are in agreement with previously published research (Abu-Zahra et al, 2006;Abu-Zahra and Tahboub, 2009) which reported higher dry residue and soluble solids content as a result of the organic management compared to the conventional one. Similar effects on soluble solids and sugars were also previously reported by Wang and Millner (2009).…”

“…Finally, irrespective of storage, the organic management resulted in higher values of soluble solids in both cultivars (table II). These results are in agreement with several published studies [12,30,32,47] which found that organic fruits have a higher TSS content than conventionally grown fruits. The higher TSS recorded in 'Ventana' grown organically could be due to lower fruit water content (i.e.…”

-Introduction. Consumer interest in organic fruit is increasing based on the assumption that these products are healthier, despite a lack of conclusive evidence. Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is a rich source of antioxidants and an important fruit in the human diet. Materials and methods. The configuration of strawberry fruit quality was analyzed in a factorial approach accounting for the effects of the farming system and postharvest frozen storage. The strawberry cultivars 'Sabrina' and 'Ventana' grown under organic and conventional farming management were stored postharvest at −40• C for 6 months. Fruits obtained under the two farming systems were analyzed fresh after harvest and thawed after frozen storage. Fruit quality was evaluated in terms of physical, chemical and phytochemical properties. Results and discussion. The surface lightness, firmness, lipophilic antioxidant activity, soluble solids, ascorbic acid and ellagic acid contents were significantly higher at harvest than after thawing. Frozen storage increased only hydrophilic antioxidant activity, leaving reducing sugars and total phenols without significant alterations. The color of organic fruits in both cultivars was brighter and more vivid (higher L* and C* values). Farming management did not affect the reducing sugars and ascorbic acid contents for the 'Sabrina' (4.6% and 55.5 mg 100 g −1 FW, respectively) or 'Ventana' (4.0% and 31.2 mg 100 g −1 FW, respectively) cultivars. The organic 'Ventana' strawberry had higher soluble solid content and hydrophilic antioxidant activity, whereas an opposite trend was observed in total phenols and ellagic acid contents for 'Ventana' and 'Sabrina', respectively. Conclusion. The quality of strawberries, in particular the bioactive compounds, varied according to the farming system and postharvest frozen storage. The cultivation factors, including the farming management and cultivar, may significantly interact to affect quality attributes of strawberry fruit.Keywords: Italy / strawberry / Fragaria × ananassa / organic farming / fruit quality / antioxdant activity / ascorbic acid / ellagic acid / phenolics Résumé -Effet du système de culture et de congélation post-récolte sur les attributs de qualité de deux cultivars de fraisier. Introduction. L'intérêt des consommateurs pour les fruits issus d'agriculture biologique repose de plus en plus sur l'hypothèse selon laquelle ces produits sont meilleurs pour la santé, malgré l'absence de preuves concluantes. La fraise (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) est une source abondante d'antioxydants tout en étant un fruit courant en alimentation humaine. Matériel et méthodes. Les composantes de la qualité de la fraise ont été analysées selon une approche factorielle prenant en compte des effets du système de culture et de stockage post-récolte par congélation. Les fruits des cultivars de fraisiers 'Sabrina' et 'Ventana' cultivés en conduite soit biologique soit conventionnelle, ont été stockés à −40• C après la récolte. Les fruits obtenus selon les deux systèmes de...

“…Moreover, there are a large number of studies describing neuroprotective, cardioprotective and chemopreventive activities of polyphenols [52]. Results obtained are consistent with previous studies reporting higher levels of total polyphenols in organically compared with conventionally produced crops [50,53]. However, organic fertilization regimes appear to have a greater impact on polyphenol content (significant differences detected in both years) than organic crop protection regimes (significant differences only detected in one year) [43].…”

“…Differences in carbohydrate, protein and nutritionally relevant secondary metabolite levels between crops produced under organic and conventional production conditions have previously been reported [8,[46][47][48][49][50]. However, factorial studies separating the effect of contrasting fertilization and crop protection regimes have to our knowledge not previously been reported.…”

a b s t r a c tA dietary intervention study was conducted to analyse the effects of compound feeds based on crops produced in two consecutive growing seasons under four agronomic regimes that differed in crop protection (organic versus conventional) and fertilization (organic versus conventional) practices, on the growth, body chemical composition, haematological parameters, plasma antioxidant capacity, hormonal balance and immune status of male Wistar rats. The nutritional composition of the compound feeds complied with the nutritional recommendations for rats. In the first season only one generation of rats (F1) was examined whereas in the second season two rat generations (F1 and F2) were studied. The agronomic variables affected markedly the nutritional composition of feeds and there were statistically significant differences in physiological parameters between dietary groups of rats. There were however statistically significant differences in feed composition and in the physiological response of the rats between the two seasons. There were also differences in physiological response between the F1 and F2 generation of rats in the second season, although these animals were fed the same compound feeds. More detailed studies are required to quantify the effect of agronomic factors on the composition of crops and the physiology of rats fed on compound feeds prepared from these crops.
