Description
Summary:Temperature effect on growth and anthocyanin production in the cultured strawberry, Fragaria ananassa cv Shikinari, was investigated at a temperature range of 15–35°C. Cultivation temperatures have a pronounced effect on cell growth, anthocyanin content and production. Maximum growth was found at 30°C, however, the lower temperature induced an increased level of anthocyanin content within the examined temperatures. As a result, the maximum anthocyanin production was obtained at 20°C. The culture condition was changed step-wise by a temperature shift after 3 days from 30 to 20°C for the rest of the cultivation. In this process, anthocyanin production of 270 mg/l on day 9 was increased 1.8, 3 and 4-fold over that of cultures at 20, 25 and 30°C, respectively.
