Abstract

The potential damage to health and the environment caused by synthetic preservatives has prompted research into the preservative effect of natural products. This study investigates the preservative effect of natural Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Rosemary) and Lippia alba L. (Lemon Balm) ointments on strawberries selected for their similar size and maturity. Divided into four groups, the strawberries received different treatments: rosemary ointment, lemon balm ointment, base ointment or no treatment. The experiment was conducted with daily visual monitoring through photos and videos, analyzing browning and the appearance of mould. It is hoped that the ointments, especially the rosemary ointment, will delay deterioration, offering a natural and safe alternative to synthetic preservatives, with benefits for human health and the environment.
