Research introduction 「Composition of strawberries cell walls」
LI XUE -CHINA
My name is LI XUE. I am the second year of master student and belonging vegetable research group. I have been studying the composition of strawberries cell walls. Strawberries have such features, like the pulp is too soft to keep it fresh, crushed easily after harvesting or supplying process, declining the quality resulting from the invasion by microorganisms. we hope these problems will soon be solved. For my study I choose the wild strawberry of Fragaria chiloensis and Fragaria ananassa. Try to find out the best way to solve the former problems to see the results from the differences such as the quantity of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and the period of maturity between them. Then, I’m going to suggest solutions for this research near future.
