“…Pear fruit exposed to high transit time and stored at ambient temperature had a higher softening rate. The findings of this study agreed with the findings reported by Munhuewyi [7], Park et al [41], and Kabir et al [25] who recorded similar reduction trends of et tomato firmness at cold and ambient temperature. Al-Dairi et al [1] also recorded a 67.80% reduction in tomato firmness at ambient temperature for 12 days.…”

“…The majority of microbial, physiological, and biochemical processes contributing to produce quality deterioration are temperature dependence [24]. A high increase in storage temperature rises the rate of respiration [25], transpiration, and the rate of ethylene production. However, a high reduction of storage temperature could be a reason for causing chilling injuries and quality reduction [26].…”

“…Tomato is a vital source of many nutrients and other healthy minerals that benefit the human body [27]. Weight, firmness, and color are essential quality indicators influenced by postharvest operations [1,25]. These quality aspects affect consumer acceptance and market success [28].…”

“…These quality aspects affect consumer acceptance and market success [28]. Compared to other fruits and vegetables, tomato is a sensitive produce [29] which is highly perishable due to vibration and impact load during transportation, the market process, and storage temperature [25]. Vibration during transportation causes the tomato to rub and rotate against other products and the packaging containers resulted in softening and other mechanical damages [8,13].…”

Transport duration affects the vibration level generated which has adverse effects on fresh produce during transportation. Furthermore, temperature affects the quality of fresh commodities during storage. This study evaluated physical changes in tomatoes during transportation and storage. Tomatoes were transported at three distances (100, 154, and 205 km) from a local farm and delivered to the Postharvest Laboratory where vibration acceleration was recorded per distance. Tomato was stored at two different temperatures (10 °C and 22 °C) for 12 days. The physical qualities like weight loss and firmness of all tomato samples were evaluated. RGB image acquisition system was used to assess the color change of tomato. The results of vibration showed that over 40% of accelerations occurred in the range of 0.82–1.31 cm/s2 of all transport distances. Physical quality analyses like weight loss and firmness were highly affected by transportation distance, storage temperature, and storage period. The reduction in weight loss and firmness was the highest in tomatoes transported from the farthest distance and stored at 22 °C. Lightness, yellowness, and hue values showed a high reduction as transport distance increased particularly in tomatoes stored at 22 °C. Redness, total color difference, and color indices increased significantly on tomatoes transported from 205 km and stored at 10 °C and 22 °C. The study indicated that the increase in transportation distance and storage temperature cause higher changes in the physical qualities of tomatoes.

“…Low storage temperature condition is considered as a major factor applied for maintaining the quality of postharvest attributes of tomatoes. Furthermore, data on postharvest characteristics of fresh produce are significant and required as an input used for models to predict postharvest behavior and attributes [21].…”

The influence of simulated transport vibration and storage conditions for 10 days on tomato fruits quality (color, weight, firmness, total soluble solids, and headspace gases) were investigated. Better kinetic models for color changes, weight loss, and firmness of stored tomato fruits were selected. Tomato fruits were divided equally into two main groups where the first one was subjected to vibration at a frequency of 2.5 Hz for two hours and the other group was set as a control (with no vibration stress). Both tomato groups were stored for 10 days at 10 °C and 22 °C storage conditions. The results showed a reduction in total soluble solids, yellowness, weight, lightness in the tomato fruits subjected to vibration at 22 °C storage condition. Ethylene and carbon dioxide increased by 124.13% and 83.85% respectively on the same condition (22 °C). However, storage at 10 °C slowed down the investigated quality changes attributes of both tomato groups (vibrated and control) during storage. The weight loss change kinetics of both tomato groups at both storage temperatures were highly fitted with a zero-order kinetic model. Color and firmness kinetic changes of tomato groups stored at both conditions were described well by zero and first order kinetic models. To validate the appropriateness of the selected model, lightness, redness, yellowness, and firmness were taken as an example. The study revealed that the vibration occurrence and increasing storage temperature cause various changes in the quality attributes of tomatoes.
