This study, "Storage of Tomatoes Under Modified Condition", was conducted in the Research Laboratory Room, DSAC, Indang, Cavite from November to December 1985 to explore the possibility of minimizing shrivelling and delaying ripening of tomatoes by storing them in the different media. Apollo variety was used in this study.
The different treatments used were dry sawdust (T,), moist sawdust (T,), dry ricehull (T,), moist rice-hull (To), dry ricebran (Te), and moist ricebran (T.). Some were stored w (T,). It was observed that the temperature of moist ricebran, dry and moist sawdust and ricehull were 3 to 4°C lower than the control (25.4°C). The temperature in
Ary ricebran (Ty) was 3 to 4°C higher than the control
(T,)-.
The tomatoes used in this study were sour variety aS shown by an increase in % TA and decrease in TSS at ripening. The control fruits (T, ) as well as those stored in dry sawdust (T,), dry ricehull (T,) and dry ricebran (TE) had an average weight loss of 2.2 gm during storage while fruits in moist sawdust (T.), moist ricebran (T.) and moist ricehull (TL) had slightly gained weight. Full ripening (color index no. 6) was attained after 10 days for the control (T,)- By storing the fruits in the different media, a delay in ripening was observed. It took about 18 days for both dry sawdust (T.) and dry rice- hull (T,), 19 days for moist ricehull (T.) and 22 days for moist sawdust (T.) to attain full ripening (C.I. no. 6) tomatoes. The fruits stored in dry ricebran (T,) re- mained green for a longer time where they ripened after 32 days.
Seventeen percent (17%) of the control fruits (T,) were affected by ripe-rot caused by Colletotrichum phomoides. The percentage of the fruits infected with the disease was increased to 20-28% when stored in the different media, the increase being about 3-11% higher than the control. The tomatoes stored in moist ricebran (T,) were terminated four days earlier because 100% of the fruits were affected by soft-rot disease.
