Quality of cupped strawberry was evaluated after processing during 45 days of storage at 4 and 25 °C.
High hydrostatic pressure (HHP) and thermal processing (TP) were compared.
A better microbiological stability was observed in all treated samples except that in HHP-treated ones at 25 °C during storage.
After the 45-day storage, HHP-treated samples showed better quality compared to TP-treated ones.
A better quality and a longer shelf-life were observed in samples stored at 4 °C.
