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. |
