Impact of photo-treatment on tomato physiological qualities during storage and on-shelf display door Offiong, Ubong, Jamaludin, Diyana, Nakasha, Juju, Khairudin, Nurulhuda

“…Tomatoes treated with 5B:1R and white LED enhance tomato firmness more than the control samples during storage and on-shelf display. 5B:1R LED reduces the pH of tomatoes significantly, making them more acidic and resistance to microbes, while 5R:1B enhances the sugar accumulation of tomatoes. This makes photo-treatment a sustainable technique for tomato physiological quality preservation and senescence postponement.…”
