Quality changes and postharvest-losses of strawberry fruit packed in nano embedded biodegradable polyethylene films.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Strawberries are highly perishable fruits with a short shelf life. This study aimed to investigate the impact of various low-density polyethylene (LDPE) packaging films on the quality changes and postharvest losses of strawberries. Four types of Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were used for packaging: conventional LDPE (CLDPE), biodegradable LDPE (BLDPE), biodegradable LDPE/nano-clay (BLDPE/NC), and biodegradable LDPE/nano-mineral (BLDPE/NM). The composition of the LDPE films influenced their oxygen transmission rate and water vapor transmission rate, resulting in improved barrier properties. Compared to CLDPE film, strawberries packed in BLDPE, BLDPE/NC, and BLDPE/NM films exhibited reduced color changes, lower decay indexes, and decreased microbial populations. Among the films, BLDPE and BLDPE/NC films showed the lowest weight loss during storage, while BLDPE/NM film had a slightly higher weight loss. The titratable acidity of the fruit showed similar trends among the different packaging films during storage. However, in contrast to the CLDPE, packaging with other films maintained firmness and had higher levels of soluble solids, vitamin C, total phenolics, total flavonoids, total anthocyanin, total antioxidant activity, and superoxide dismutase activity compared to those packed in CLDPE film. These findings suggest that the use of BLDPE and BLDPE/NC films, can effectively preserve the quality of strawberries by minimizing weight loss, maintaining firmness, and enhancing their nutritional and antioxidant properties during storage.
