Abstract
The study was conducted to evaluate the quality and shelflife of tomato (Solanum lycopersicon ‘Diamante Max’) at 7-10°C and 21-25°C and develop grading scale for research, education and industry use.
Fruit quality at harvest was determined by maturity and absence of defects including deformation, blossom-end rot, and insect damage.
During storage, quality changes were a result of the ripening process, with water loss and rotting as secondary factors.
Storage at 7-10°C expectedly and more effectively delayed ripening, reduced weight loss, and prolonged shelf life of tomato fruits than at 21-25°C. Overall, the quality attributes were characterized using a scale for visual quality which was evaluated by a consumer panel.
The results provide valuable information for establishing a system of grade standardization and classification along the production-marketing continuum.
