Summary
The shelf life of a fresh market tomato cultivar (Money Maker) and a processing tomato cultivar (Cal-J) at 4.5 degree C, room temperature (18-25 degree C) and 30 degree C was studied. The weight loss was significantly higher at increased temperatures and there was an interaction between the variety and temperature at room and 30 degree C. Loss in fruit firmness was greatest at the two higher temperatures but there were no singificant differences between the cultivars. The difference in shelf life was highly significant between temperature levels and the cultivars. Money Maker had longer shelf life than Cal-J under all conditions, but storage temperature rather than cultivar difference was the major factor determining shelf life. [AS]
