Usually, tomatoes are stored at a low temperature. The ripening period and shelf life of tomatoes can be prolonged. However, tomatoes are susceptible to frostbite when they are cold. In this study, UV-treated tomatoes were irradiated to investigate the potential effects of this method on frostbite. The study found that UV irradiation effectively reduced the frostbite index and postponed the appearance of ethylene peaks. In addition, ultraviolet radiation also reduced tomato weight loss, improved tomato hardness duration maintained the quality of the tomato during storage, and during storage, the tomato The total solubles, soluble protein, and soluble sugar content increased. Studies have shown that UV treatment can improve the physiological adaptability of tomatoes, reduce tomato stress response to low temperatures, the use of ultraviolet light on the appropriate irradiation treatment of tomatoes will have a positive impact, can ease post-harvest tomato frostbite suffered under low temperature conditions .

Study found that UV irradiation can alleviate post-harvest frost damage in tomatoes
According to foreign media reports, the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture recently published a study on the use of ultraviolet radiation to ease post-harvest frost damage in tomatoes. Studies have shown that UV irradiation can effectively alleviate post-harvest tomatoes Frostbite.
