Summary

All the heat treatments reduced chilling injury and decay in tomatoes held for 3 weeks at 2 deg C. It is suggested that heat treatment institutes a response to high temperature stress in the fruit tissue that leads to strengthened membranes. This prevents the loss of function and cell collapse which was found in the chilled-injured areas of affected fruit.
