Abstract
This experiment studied the effects of cardboard boxes and plastic boxes on temperature,weight loss and sensory evaluation of tomatoes piled at room temperature,compared the influence of different precooling patterns,packagings and specifications on precooling effects of tomatoes.The results showed that,tomatoes packaged by cardboard boxes had less change of the product temperature and maintained the fruits quality well after 24 h.The tomatoes using press precooling spent 1 h less and have lower weight loss than those using cold-storage.The precooling rate of different specifications tomatoes differ greatly,so different pecifications tomatos should be precooled separately.Among the four packagings,plastic boxes with cold storage precooling was the best and weight loss rate was lower.
