Abstract/Description: | The silicone membrane makes use of the ability of polymer to permit selective passage of gases at different rates according to their physical and chemical properties. The product stored maintains its own atmosphere by the combined effects of respiration process of the commodity and the diffusion rate through the membrane. The mean shelf-life of 80 days was observed when the tomatoes were stored at 5% CO2 under low temperature (10±2°C; 85% RH) whereas the mean shelf-life of 67 days was recorded at 5% CO2 under ambient condition (30±3°C; 60% RH). Among the interactions between the storage condition and varieties, the highest shelf-life of 88 days was observed in ‘PKM-1’ variety stored at low temperature and shelf-life of 71 days was observed at ambient condition at 5% CO2. The quality parameters were not affected by silicone membrane storage and was on par with the naturally ripened tomatoes |
