Abstract
The development of farming technologies that allow the production of agricultural products free of chemical compounds that are harmful to the agricultural environment as well as the consumers is a challenge that several research groups have addressed. In several case studies the effect of various treatments of organic fertilization on quality variables of the agricultural product to be produced has been analyzed. The above is of vital importance for the development of agriculture that allows the sustainable development of the communities. The objective of this work was to study the antioxidant and nutraceutical properties of samples at 5 degrees of maturation of the variety Fragaria x ananassa Camino Real organically grown and compared with a commercial strawberry sample as a control; The parameters to be considered were: Superoxide dismutase activity, amount of anthocyanidins and total reducing sugars. The results indicate that the strawberry organically grown presents competitive nutritional properties and in some parameters superior to the commercially grown strawberry. In this work we can elucidate the benefits of developing sustainable agriculture techniques which allow the production of food free of toxic chemical agents for human health, as well as contribute to the preservation of the environment of the various communities.
