Abstract

Respiratory rate of tomato fruits was measured by pouch method and the effect of the changes in gas concentration on respiratory metabolism and ripening physiology were investigated. In the increased carbon dioxide and decreased oxygen, the respiratory rate was repressed and the changes in respiratory quotient values were related to the gas condition and maturity at harvest. The ripening of immature fruit was interrupted at the state of higher concentration of carbon dioxide. Tomato fruits carried out anaerobic respiration less than 4.5% concentration of oxygen without maturity.
