“…Ali, Maqbool, Ramachandran, and Alderson () reported 9% to 11% PLW in gum arabic‐coated tomatoes during storage, lower than those of untreated samples. When “508” tomato cultivar harvested at pink to light‐red ripening stages were stored at 12 and 22 °C during 20 days, PLW increased with subsequent storage, with higher values at 22 °C than at 12 °C (Assi, Jabarin, & Al‐Debei, ).…”

“…Tomato fruits at the breaker and pink ripening stages had initially the same firmness (15 to 16 N) which decreased afterwards attaining values in the range of 5.4 to 8.1 N. Assi et al. () studied the storage performance of tomatoes against traditional and modern handling methods followed in Jordan. Tomato fruits were stored during 10 days at 12 and 22 °C, displayed a rapid decline in firmness, although those held at 12 °C remained firmer than those held at 22 °C after 10 days storage.…”

“…Assi et al. () compared traditional and modern tomato handling methods used in Jordan, in which tomato fruits harvested at the pink or light‐red stages were held at 12 or 22 °C, and found an increase in TSS with storage period, with significant differences between both storage temperatures. Sammi and Masud () studied the impact of different packaging systems on TSS of tomatoes held at ambient conditions, and found that TSS increased with ripening stage in both unpacked and packed samples.…”

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicon L.) fruit is rich in various nutrients, vitamins and health‐promoting molecules. Fresh tomatoes are an important part of the Mediterranean gastronomy, and their consumption is thought to contribute substantially to the reduced incidence of some chronic diseases in the Mediterranean populations in comparison with those of other world areas. Unfortunately, tomato fruit is highly perishable, resulting in important economic losses and posing a challenge to storage, logistic and supply management. This review summarizes the current knowledge on some important health‐promoting and eating quality traits of tomato fruits after harvest and highlights the existence of substantial cultivar‐to‐cultivar variation in the postharvest evolution of the considered traits according to maturity stage at harvest and in response to postharvest manipulations. It also suggests the need for adapting postharvest procedures to the characteristics of each particular genotype to preserve the optimal quality of the fresh product.

“…1 The O 2 and CO 2 concentration in different package Fig. 2 Physiological loss in weight of table grape in different package Changes on weight loss levels: Water loss resulted in softening and shriveling and by the time such phenomenon occurred, the stems of the cluster have already dried out and the grapes were unmarketable [14]. Weight loss is related to fruit respiration rate and the relative humidity of the packaging bags.…”

The germicidal bags which can release environmental properties of SO2 fungicide, have lower water vapor transmission rate and higher oxygen transmission rate, and theirs effect on preservation of table grapes was investigated during storage at room temperature. The results showed that germicidal bags were able to maintain physicochemical, and physiological quality of grapes at a higher level compared with the common LDPE bags. At 16th days, decreases in the water loss rate, berry decay rate, and contents of total soluble solids, titratable acidity of germicidal bags groups were significantly inhibited. Although the content of TSS, TA and the berry firmness didn't show the significant difference between the germicidal bags and control group, but decay rate, shatter rate, and water loss rate of the control group were increased to 5.01%, 13.58%, and 0.67%, respectively. The control group had lost edible value. The overall results expressed that grapes quality can be maintained effectively at least for 16 days using germicidal bags.

“…There is no standardized protocol for documenting postharvest losses, and each published study utilizes a wide variety of surveys, interviews and measurements, each focusing on a different set of variables. Cooling practices in general have been documented to be cost effective,9, 21, 22, 29 as have many small‐scale storage practices,9, 22, 30, 31 but much more research is needed to determine the return on investment (ROI) of various postharvest technologies such as improved packaging, cooling, ethylene exclusion and/or scrubbing, treatment with 1‐methylcyclopropene to inhibit ethylene action, modified atmosphere packaging, and decay control treatments. Such information can greatly enhance adoption of technologies with high ROI potential by produce handlers.…”

Postharvest technology for developing countries: challenges and opportunities in research, outreach and advocacy

This article discusses the needs and challenges of developing good, science-based, simple methods for postharvest handling that can be made available in developing countries. Some of the traditional challenges have been successfully met (i.e. identifying causes and sources of losses for key crops, identifying many potential postharvest technologies of practical use for reducing losses), but many challenges remain. These include the characterization of indigenous crops in terms of their unique postharvest physiology (e.g. respiration rate, susceptibility to water loss, chilling sensitivity, ethylene sensitivity), ascertaining the differences between handling recommendations made for well-known varieties and the needs of local varieties of crops, and determining cost effectiveness of scale-appropriate postharvest technologies in each locale and for each crop. Key issues include building capacity at the local level in postharvest science, university teaching and extension, and continued adaptive research efforts to match emerging postharvest technologies to local needs as these continue to change over time. Development of appropriate postharvest technology relies upon many disciplines that are relevant to the overall success of horticulture, i.e. plant biology, engineering, agricultural economics, food processing, nutrition, food safety, and environmental conservation. The expanding pool of new information derived from postharvest research and outreach efforts in these areas can lead in many directions which are likely to have an impact on relieving poverty in developing countries.
