Abstract

Abstract:

The effect of high voltage electric fields on the after-ripening process and quality during storage of ZhaoYan219 tomatoes (Lycopersicom esculentum) was investigated. The firmness, color and decay index of electric field-treated tomatoes were determined during storage. The optimum conditions of electric field treatment were optimized. The results showed that －200kV/m of intermittent static electric field treatment (2 h/d) and －200～200 kV/m 40 kHz alternating electric field pre-treatment (2 h) delayed significantly the decline of firmness, the change in color from green to red of tomato fruit during storage, and decreased the decay index (P ＜ 0.05), and thus prolonged the storage time of tomatoes. However, continuous treatment of intermittent static field and alternating electric field accelerated the ripening process.

Key words: tomato, electrostatic field, storage quality, physiological characteristics
