Abstract
In this study, tomato fruits were harvested at mature green stage and stored at 21 °C for rapid ripening.
Fruits were treated with Semperfresh at concentrations of 0.8 % and 1.2 % prior to storage in order to determine its effect on ripening and storage life.
During storage, samples were taken at 3 day intervals and analyzed for color(a/b), firmness and weight loss.
It was found that the rapid maturation of mature green tomatoes at 21 °C with Semperfresh treatments provided decreases in post harvest weight losses and an increase of shelf-life of up to 3–5 days in comparison with untreated control fruits.
