Effects of controlled atmosphere storage (CAS) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) in comparison with conventional cold storage on qualitative properties of green-mature harvested tomato were evaluated. Qualitative properties included firmness, redness value (a*), hue angle, Total Soluble Solids (TSS) content, Titratable Acidity (TA) and TSS/TA. Under CAS and MAP conditions, gas composition was 5 kPa O2 and 3 kPa CO2. Results showed that the ability of CAS and MAP to retard the ripening process was more than cold storage. With regard to maintaining texture and colour, CAS treatment was the best and MAP was better than cold storage. Although amongst storage treatments, the maximum value of TSS was observed in cold storage, its decreasing trend in CAS was slower than that in cold storage. Additionally, MAP and especially CAS slowed down the diminishing trend of TA in tomatoes.
将控制气氛贮藏（CAS）和改良气氛包装（MAP）与传统冷藏进行比较，评估其对绿熟收获番茄品质特性的影响。定性特性包括硬度、红色值（a*）、色调角、总可溶性固形物（TSS）含量、可滴定酸度（TA）和 TSS/TA。在 CAS 和 MAP 条件下，气体组成为 5kPa O2 和 3kPa CO2。结果表明，CAS 和 MAP 延缓成熟过程的能力强于冷藏。就保持质地和颜色而言，CAS 处理效果最好，MAP 优于冷藏。尽管在贮藏处理中，冷藏处理的 TSS 值最高，但 CAS 处理的下降趋势比冷藏处理慢。此外，MAP 特别是 CAS 减缓了番茄中 TA 减少的趋势。
