Abstract

Tomatoes harvested at four maturity stages (viz. mature-green, breaker, turning and pink) were washed with 100ppm chlorinated water, sorted and ripened at ambient conditions (20-30°C and 76-85% realtive humidity (RH)). The physico-chemical characteristics of unripe and ripe tomatoes were determined.

Key words: Chemical characteristics; Harvesting stages; Ripening; Sensory quality
