Abstract: Tomato preservation with aloe solution film coating was studied. The results indicated that the aloe solution film coating shows good preservation effects on tomatoes. Equivolume mixed solution of 1% aloe barbadensis juice, 0.5% starch and 0.2% glycerine is the optimum film coating solution. The tomates freshened with the film solution coating have the smallest changes in weight loss, rot rate, and browning index of peel, and also in contents of total sugar, total acid, vitamin C and amino acid. This formula of coating film is the optimum.
