Abstract:The aim of this work was to improve the understanding about the relationship between solar radiation and temperature exposure during crop and tomato fruit susceptibility to postharvest chilling injury. Two preharvest treatments were applied: direct sunlight exposed plants (Ex) and shaded plants (Sh). After harvest, fruit were stored at 10⁰C and 4⁰C for ten days. Then, fruit were removed from the chambers and stored at room temperature for four days. Several determinations were carried out: total mineral and ca… Show more
