The article "Quality Attributes, Physiology, and Postharvest Technologies of Tomatoes (Lycopersicum Esculentum) – A Review" by Uchenna Emmanuel Umeohia and Abiodun Adekunle Olapade provides a comprehensive overview of the quality attributes, physiological processes, and postharvest technologies related to tomatoes. Tomatoes, a globally significant crop, are rich in various nutrients and have high nutritional value. The quality of fresh tomatoes is influenced by factors such as visual appeal, firmness, taste, and dietary value. Postharvest handling systems aim to minimize quality losses due to physiological, pathological, microbiological, and mechanical processes. Key postharvest management procedures include plucking, cleaning, sanitizing, initial cooling, sorting, packing, storage, and shipping. Techniques for physical preservation include low-temperature storage, modified atmosphere packaging, and chemical methods like chlorinated water and UV radiation. The article also discusses the impact of postharvest factors on tomato quality, including physiological disorders like chilling injury, mechanical damage, and microbial spoilage. Proper harvesting, precooling, and handling practices are crucial for maintaining and extending the shelf life of tomatoes.The article "Quality Attributes, Physiology, and Postharvest Technologies of Tomatoes (Lycopersicum Esculentum) – A Review" by Uchenna Emmanuel Umeohia and Abiodun Adekunle Olapade provides a comprehensive overview of the quality attributes, physiological processes, and postharvest technologies related to tomatoes.
