Comparison of ethylene gassing methods for tomatoes.

Harvested tomato fruits were gassed with either ethylene from a pressurized gas cylinder or ethylene containing effluent from a catalytic generator. The liquid used in the catalytic generator contained ethanol and several other compounds. The gaseous effluent emitted by the generator contained a variety of compounds besides ethylene, probably ethers and alcohols. Fruit colour changes during ripening showed more variation after treatment with generator effluent than cylinder ethylene in 2 out of 3 experiments. However, the mean colour rating was not significantly different between the 2 gassing methods. The combined results of 2 taste panels, showed that the panelists could distinguish a treatment difference, but comments from the panelists indicated no preference for one treatment over the other.
