Effect of Harvesting States on the Quality of Tomato (<i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> Mill CV. Avinash-2, Hybrid)

Abstract: Tomatoes harvested at four maturity stages (viz. mature-green, breaker, turning and pink) were washed with 100ppm chlorinated water, sorted and ripened at ambient conditions (20-30°C and 76-85% realtive humidity (RH)). The physico-chemical characteristics of unripe and ripe tomatoes were determined.Key words: Chemical characteristics; Harvesting stages; Ripening; Sensory qualityTribhuvan University JournalVol. XXV, No. 1, 2005Page:143-147Uploaded date: 26, September, 2010

“…Getinet et al, 2008 have reported that the total soluble solid was low at the colour breaker stage but increased when tomato fruits were harvested at pink mature stage. Though results of this study have not clearly showed significant difference in TSS at different maturity stages except variety 'Thilina', generally TSS increases with the advancement in maturity and during storage (Karki, 2005;Getinet et al, 2008). The increase in TSS could be attributed to the breakdown of starch into sugars or the hydrolysis of cell wall polysaccharides (Crouch, 2003).…”

“…The weight loss is attributed to the loss of moisture and carbohydrates (Karki, 2005) and causing fruit softening and shriveling (Wilsony., 1999). It is a common but serious problem during storage (Getinet et al, 2008).…”

“…The stored samples were analysed for Physiological loss in weight, Chlorophyll content, Colour change and Decay parameters. The difference in weight between initial and final weight was considered as physiological loss in weight and percentage was calculated [15]. Chlorophyll content was ascertained by chlorophyll meter as spad unit (Model: SPAD-502 PLUS, KONICA MINOLTA SENSING, INC. Japan).…”

“…Tingkat kematangan yang direkomendasikan untuk pemanenan adalah ketika kulit/permukaan buah berwarna merah lebih dari 90%. Proses pematangan pada buah tomat juga dipengaruhi oleh menurunnya kandungan klorofil pada buah tersebut dan berhubungan dengan penelitian yang telah dilakukan oleh Karki (2005). Penelitian tersebut menunjukkan tingkat kandungan klorofil (mg/100 g) pada masingmasing tingkat kemasakan buah tomat yaitu 1.78 pada mature-green, 0.93 pada breaker, 0.76 pada turning dan 0.59 pada pink.…”
