The effectiveness of a short prestorage hot water rinsing and brushing (HWRB) was tested
on decay incidence, quality parameters, respiration rate and ethylene evolution of pink
tomato fruits that were kept for 14 days at 12 C plus 3 days at 20 C (storage and marketing
simulation). Rinsing fresh harvested tomato at 52 C for 15 s while brushing significantly
reduced decay development after storage and marketing simulation. This prestorage heat
treatment maintained better fruit quality as evaluated by firmness, total soluble solids, acidity …
