Three PE packages were used:
1. M1 with OTR: 7.78 and
CO 2 TR:
9.12 × 10 −17 mol s −1 m −2 Pa −1
2. M2 with OTR: 5.49 and
CO 2 TR:
8.47 × 10 −17 mol s −1 m −2 Pa −1
3. M3 with OTR:
3.56 × 10 −17 mol s −1 m −2 Pa −1
and CO 2 TR:
8.97 × 10 −17 mol s −1 m −2 Pa −1

Dipping in hot water
(39 °C for 90 min)

15 °C—13 days Hot water treatment

combined with low O 2
atmosphere packaging
delayed color development
on the studied samples.
Acceptability was
prolonged by 2, 4 and 6
days on samples stored
under PMAP 1, PMAP 2
and PMAP 3 respectively,
compared to the control
samples

PMAP LDPE fi lm was used Dipping in hot water

(42.5 °C for 30 min)

10 °C—14 days and 3
days at 20 °C without
packaging

The use of hot water dipping
and subsequent MAP
storage reduced weight loss
(1.74 %) and unwanted
changes of color and
fi rmness whereas soluble
solids (6.47 o Brix) and
titratable acidity (0.63 %)
remained unaffected

Dipping for 2 min in
chlorinated water
(0.2 mg free
chlorine/L). Samples
were sliced
(7 mm-thick slices)

4 °C—21 days Lycopene content peaked on

Bodar cultivar (80.5 mg/kg).
Durinta tomatoes had the
highest phenolic content and
vitamin C (314.1 and
204.8 mg/kg). Color
attributes and antioxidant
content was preserved for the
whole storage period of 21
