High relative humidity pre-harvest reduces post-harvest proliferation of Salmonella in tomatoes.
Outbreaks of human illness caused by enteric pathogens such as Salmonella are increasingly linked to the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Knowledge on the factors affecting Salmonella proliferation on fresh produce therefore becomes increasingly important to safeguard public health. Previous experiments showed a limited impact of pre-harvest production practices on Salmonella proliferation...

متن کاملEffects of Modified Atmosphere Packaging on Post Harvest Qualities of Pink Tomatoes
365 Abstract: An experiment retail plastic packaging system was used to compare the atmospheric composition within sealed packs containing tomato fruits. A range of plastic films with different permeability properties were tested to study the effects of these conditions on the changes in postharvest qualities of tomatoes harvested at the pink stage of maturity and stored at 13C for 60 days. The...
