Storage and Packaging Dependent Physical Properties of Tomatoes

The study was conducted to see the effect of packaging material and storage condition on the physical properties of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) varieties (Himshikhar and NS - 524). These varietal tomatoes were packaged in High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) and stored under refrigerator, BOD incubator and ambient temperatures. Tomato variety Himshikhar packed in HDPE showed minimum shrinkage at ambient temperature followed by refrigerator and BOD condition.
