Description The effects of packaging materials [Corrugated fibre boxes (CFB), non-perforated polypropylene pouches (NPPP), perforated polypropylene pouches (PPP), plastic crates (PC), jute bags (JB)] were assessed on quality attributes in open pollinated (OP) and hybrid tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivars during ambient storage (24-32oC and 70- 85% RH). Tomato OP variety, Kashi Hemant had shown maximum PLW (65.2%) in PC while coded IIVR hybrid 1 exhibited minimum PLW (1.3%) in NPPP after 20 days of storage at ambient storage temperature. The maximum increase in ‘a’ value was also obtained in PC followed by JB, CFB, PPP and NPPP. Maximum (14.7-25.0 mg/100g) increase in ascorbic acid was obtained in hybrid Kashi Abhiman during 25 days of storage in NPPP whereas, OP variety Kashi Amrit had shown minimum increase (10-18.5 mg/100g) in ascorbic acid in PC after 15 days of storage.
