Effects of different washing treatments on tomato rotten rates within 7 days

shelf life,packed by PE film at ambient temperature(28-30 ℃),were investigated,including

tap water,100 mg·kg^-1 NaClO and 5 mg·kg^-1 ClO₂ under different temperature(5 ℃ higher and

lower than fruits’ temperature,respectively).The results showed that the rotten rates of

the washed tomatoes were decreased significantly from 47 %(no washed,CK)to 9 %-26 %,and the

temperature has not taken effect on reducing rotten rate for tap water and ClO₂

treatments.However,it reduced the rotten rate significantly by 100 mg·kg^-1 NaClO washing

treatment with 5 ℃ higher than fruits temperature ompared with 5 ℃ lower than fruits’

temperature treatment,which reached 9 %,the best treatment after 7 days storage.
