Granular-Activated
Carbon (GAC) was
induced either alone or
impregnated with
palladium as a catalyst
(GAC-Pd) (ethylene
absorbers)
The limit of 40 % on decay
incidence was reached on
the 21st for the control
samples while tomatoes
stored with GAC-Pd
absorbers stayed acceptable
until the 28th day of storage
