Combined effects of postharvest time and temperature on the changes in tomato quality.

Effets combinés du stade de récolte et de la température sur l'évolution de la qualité de la tomate.

Author(s) : MORAS P., BARDET M. C., PLANTON G., GIUSFREDI L.

Summary

The article describes postharvest changes in 3 varieties of tomatoes representative of current French production: Daniela (a long-life variety with a non-ripening gene), Recento (grown in greenhouses), and Ferline (grown in fields). These tomato varieties are grown under similar conditions, under a shelter net. Their postharvest behaviour at different temperatures (12, 18, and 24 deg C) was evaluated through measurements of firmness, as a function of variety/harvest-stage interactions. Ethylene emission and biochemical composition are other tomato characteristics which are discussed.
