Popis: | SUMMARY Durometer readings indicated that although differences in firmness of maturegreen fruits were small, there were large varietal differences in red-ripe fruit after preor post-storage ripening treatment at different temperatures. Such differences were positively related to the performance of the different cultivars in controlled atmosphere storage. Thus the durometer provides a simple means of assessing the firmness of ripe tomato fruits and hence of predicting the long-term storage potential of different cultivars. |
