Abstract
AbstractNutritional benefits and organoleptic characteristics, including visual, textural, taste, and flavor, are the critical characteristics of economically important fruit. Ripening is a crucial phenomenon in the formation of these quality characteristics in fruits. Therefore, controlling the ripening phenomenon is extremely important not only to maximize the benefits of the fruit but also to avoid food losses caused by over-ripening. Tomato is an important model plant, especially for research on fruit ripening. The metachronous model of tomato ripening is presented in this report. This model predicts the postharvest ripening time of tomato fruit in terms of red color development based on the storage period. A modified sigmoid-type function model was used to develop the prediction model. The observations and analyses were conducted at different storage temperatures and in different tomato cultivars. The result exhibits that the integration of the proposed model and time lag was successfully showing the postharvest ripening time history of tomato fruit at the full range ripening process, from onset to fully ripe. This study provides critical information on postharvest quality control research and supply chain development in eliminating food loss and waste, which leads to the realization of sustainable development goals.
