TOMATOES FOR PROCESSING IN THE 90'S: POSTHARVEST HANDLING. |
| Authors: | M. Altisent, A. Rincón |
| Abstract:
Processing tomato industry has a high potential in Spain. Variety testing and mechanization studies and applications have been performed during the last 15 years. Many factors affect the quality and product losses during post-harvest handling which may be classified as: main or external factors: those related to the systems, procedures and devices; and fruit factors: those related to fruit properties. A research project is being carried on in the area of Vegas del Guadiana (Badajoz, Spain) to study these factors and to estimate costs, and to develop improved post-harvest handling practices. | |
