Quality changes in tomatoes stored

Performance of an Evaporative cooled (EC) room, built in hot and dry region of Punjab, was evaluated by storing the tomato fruits (var. Naveen) in it. Tomatoes were also stored in two other storage conditions, cold store (CS) and room conditions (RC). Average temperature and RH inside EC room during study was 26.5°C and 65-78%, respectively. The temperature and RH of RC and CS storage conditions were 25-41°C and 20-35%, and 10°C and 90%, respectively.

An experiment retail plastic packaging system was used to compare the atmospheric composition within sealed packs containing tomato fruits. A range of plastic films with different permeability properties were tested to study the effects of these conditions on the changes in postharvest qualities of tomatoes harvested at the pink stage of maturity and stored at 13oC for 60 days.
