Influence of Storage Temperature on shelf-life of Some Tomato Hybrids

Green tomato fruits of different studied hybrids such as, Amal, Steel, Tartila, and 2-75/96, which had been grown in a greenhouse at Abi- Jarash Farm were picked up and stored at temperatures of 12 c and 20 c for 29 days. The fruits, which were stored at 12 c had been transferred to 9 cْ, and then stored for an additional period of two weeks. The chemical composition of the stored fruits was evaluated, which included: acidity percentage, total soluble solids, and the quantity of vitamine C. The ratio of fruit weight loss during storage was studied as well.
