Proceedings of the International Conference “Environmentally friendly and safe technologies for quality of fruit and vegetables”, held in Universidade do Algarve, Faro, Portugal, on January 14-16, 2009. This Conference was a join activity with COST Action 924. ; Quality and safety attributes, like colour (CIELab parameters), texture (Maximum force – MF), total phenolics content (TPC), peroxidase activity (POD)...
The effect of temperature and storage time on tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) colour (a* and ºh) and firmness (maximum force) were analysed at 2º, 5º, 10º, 15º and 20 ºC. The development of these quality attributes followed a fractional kinetic model. The regression coefficient (R2) for the generated models were high, 0.94 for both colour parameters (a* and ºh) and 0.84 for firmness. A significant (p<0.05...
