The extent of mechanical damage and its physiological postharvest effects on eating tomatoes.

Handling damage and compression defects were reduced when 2- to 3-cm-thick foam rubber sheets were used to line the bottom of plastic or metallic harvesting containers and when traditional wooden tables were used for sorting of F1 tomato cultivars Vemar and 330. Fruit abrasion was reduced during transport in PVC thermoformed trays (Peg type) but impact damage and compression defects were increased as the fruits and tray cups did not match perfectly. Damaged fruits produced more CO2 and ethylene, lost more water and suffered more ion leakage than undamaged fruits.
