Abstract

MAP model of cherry tomato was established. Cherry tomatoes during shelf-life with different packaging methods and storage temperatures were tested to get 5 indicators, which were Vc content, soluble solids content, titratable acid content, weight loss rate, and sensory quality. Variance analysis of experimental data was carried out using SPSS software. The results showed that packaging methods on cherry tomato weight loss rate of significant variance of values sig=0.012<0.05 was significantly impact; temperature on the cherry tomato weight loss of significant variance sig=0.000<0.001 was highly significant difference; significant variance of temperature to cherry tomato soluble solids content sig=0.05 was general for significant difference. Experiments showed that using plastic film LDPE and CPP packaging materials can significantly extend the shelf-life of cherry tomato; low-temperature storage can further improve the fresh-keeping effect.
