Abstract
Cooling aluminum chambers have emerged as a promising solution for the storage of tomatoes, addressing the critical need to extend their shelf life while preserving quality post-harvest. This study delves into the efficacy of utilizing these chambers, aiming to optimize storage conditions for maximum preservation benefits. Through meticulous experimentation, various parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow dynamics within the chamber were meticulously examined. Additionally, the study scrutinized the influence of different packaging methods on tomato preservation efficacy. The findings underscore the remarkable capability of cooling aluminum chambers to regulate storage environments, effectively retard ripening processes and mitigating microbial proliferation. Lower temperatures within the chambers significantly curtailed the pace of tomato ripening, thus extending their shelf life appreciably. Moreover, meticulous humidity control within the chambers prevented moisture loss, curbing mold formation and decay. Furthermore, the study elucidated the profound impact of packaging methods on ethylene production and gas exchange, thereby influencing tomato quality during storage.
