Abstract
Theinteractive effects ofaeration rate, storage temperature, harvest maturity, andstorage duration on respiration and ripening oftomatofruits(Lycopersicum esculentum var. Roma)werestudied. Slowaeration ratestrongly reducedthe climacteric butdidnotaffect ripening. Lowtemperature slowed ripening andreducedrespiratory rates, butlowtemperature didnotdelay attainment oftheclimacteric maxima.Theeffect ofairflowrateonthecontentofCO2inthefruits' internal atmospheres wasinvestigated. Thepossibility thatC02isnot theprimary causeofrespiratory inhibition underslowairflow rateisdiscussed.
