Summary

Green mature tomato fruits (cv Ramy) were stored for 20 days at 4 or 8 deg C in 3.0% O2 + 0% CO2 with or without ethylene removal or in 1.5% O2 + 0% CO2 with ethylene removal (using potassium permanganate). Fruit ripening was delayed most in fruits stored in 1.5% O2 + 0% CO2 with ethylene removal. Fruits stored at 4 deg C ripened more slowly during storage than fruits stored at 8 deg C, but fruits stored at 4 deg C ripened unevenly upon transfer to room temperature.
