The respiration rate and respiratory quotient of mature tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. ‘Himsona’) fruits harvested at the
turning stage were determined under closed system at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 35 °C (ambient) temperatures. The rate of
respiration was higher at the start of the experiment and gradually declined as the storage period prolonged, before becoming
almost constant. The steady-state respiration rate for CO2 evolution were observed to be 14.35, 15.04,19.95, 21.7 and 20.3
ml/kg-h at 10 °C, 15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C and 35 °C, respectively. The RQ values for tomato varied from 0.55 to 1.10 with time
under the experimental conditions. The respiration rate at steady state based on carbon dioxide evolution and oxygen
consumption in closed condition decreased by about 46 % and 73 %, respectively relative to initial respiration rate values at
normal air atmosphere. The results suggest that the respiration rate of tomato increased with temperature and decrease with
storage time.
