Description The present investigation was carried out to find out the “Effect of
postharvest treatments to enhance the shelf life and quality of cherry
tomato (Solanum lycopersicon var. cerasiforme) cv. Marilee Cherry Red”
under ambient condition. The experiment was carried out in Postharvest
Technology at Department of Horticulture, UAS, G.K.V.K., Bangalore,
during 2010, experiment was laid out in complete randomized factorial
design and replicated three times with sixteen treatments. Fruits treated
with postharvest treatments, viz., cold water, 2 per cent CaCl2, 4 per
cent KMnO4 for five minutes and packed in150 and 200 gauges of
polyethylene bags with(0.5%) and without ventilation.
Among the treatments T3P2- fruit treated with CaCl2 at 2 percent
and packed in 150 gauges of polyethylene packages with 0.5 per cent
ventilation was recorded higher pH (4.96 and 4.90), total sugar (6.33%),
reducing sugar (1.86%), TSS (6.10°Brix), titratable acidity (0.46%),
ascorbic acid (22.90%) and non-reducing sugar (4.93%) at 9th, 10th, 10th,
11th, 13th, 13th, and 15th days after storage respectively. The minimum
physiological loss in weight (5.16%), spoilage (13.33%) and the highest
shelf life (15.33 days) and firmness (2.00 kg/cm2) was recorded on 10th
days after storage. With respect to organoleptic scores the maximum
colour (4.33 from 5.0 score), taste (4.66), flavour (5.0), overall
acceptability (4.66) after 10th days of storage.
Thus based on shelf life and quality parameters usage of 2 per
cent CaCl2 and packed in 150 gauges of polyethylene packages with 0.5
per cent ventilation is optimum for storage of cherry tomato at ambient
temperature.
