How could cannabinoids help keep strawberries fresher for longer? Researchers at the Universidad de Córdoba, Spain, evaluated CBD-based edible coatings as a natural preservation strategy for strawberries. Using their Texture Analyser, they measured fruit firmness, expressed as Peak Positive Force (PPF), to assess resistance to compression and softening during storage. The coating reduced surface decay and weight loss while helping maintain firmness for up to six days under refrigeration. The findings highlight the potential of plant-derived coatings to improve strawberry quality and extend shelf life.
