Blue LED lighting improves the postharvest quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Zahide F1) fruits
Öz
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different wavelengths of LED lighting on the postharvest quality of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L. cv. Zahide) during breaker harvest stages..
Material and Methods: Harvested tomato fruits were placed on 500 g polystyrene foam dishes and wrapped with stretch film. They then were stored in 4±1ºC temperature and 85-90% relative humidity for 42 days under the red (R), blue (B), green (G) and white (W) LED light conditions. The fruits stored in the dark were used as control (C).
Results: R and W LED treatments increased hue angle value, yellowness index value, and fruit firmness of tomatoes Blue LED lighting, also decreased electrolyte leakage that indicates delaying senescence. It was also found that blue and red LED lighting delayed fruit decay.
Conclusion: As a conclusion, it could be satated that the blue LED lighting was found to be more effective than the red, white and green LED light in maintaining the quality of the tomatoes harvested at the breaking stage.
