Abstract
ABSTRACT Tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill cv. Rupali) ripened in evaporative cooling (EC) storage conditions (20°C–25°C, 92–95% RH) were compared with control fruits stored under room conditions (28°C–33°C, 45–65% RH) during summer in Mysore. EC ripened tomatoes on the 15th day reached 100% ripening index (RI) with a value of 2.48 for the ratio of redness to yellowishness (a/b) and hue angle (θ) of 22.1° whereas the control tomatoes on the same day reached a maximum 83.3% RI with a/b ratio of 1.59 and a hue angle of 32.9°. Higher development of chroma and total color difference were exhibited by EC stored tomatoes than control samples. The lycopene content of EC ripened fruits double that of the control. EC stored fruits showed lower values for rupture and shear stresses. The rate of moisture loss for control fruits was 6.5 times as great as for EC stored tomatoes.
