Resumen
The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of thermal and anaerobictreatments on physiological and biochemicalparameters in a variety of tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Colt 45). Treatments applied to mature green tomatoes were: (A) heattreatments by water immersion at 42 °C for 30 min (HS30′) or for 60 min (HS60′); or by air at 38 °C for 72 h (HS72h); and (B) anaerobictreatments carried out at 20 °C under humidified nitrogen atmosphere for 3 days (ANA3d) or 6 days (ANA6d). After treatments, fruits were stored at 2 or 14 °C. Parameters evaluated were: colour, total acidity, major organic acids, firmness, and ethanol and acetaldehyde concentration. Anaerobic and long-term heat shock treatments inhibited colour development irrespective of storage temperature. Air heattreatment reduced tritratable acidity by increasing malic acid metabolism. Anaerobictreatments induced ethanol accumulation, which could be reversed during storage for the short treatment (3 days), but not for the longer treatment (6 days). Acetaldehyde concentration was increased by anaerobictreatments, but also by immersion in hot water for 60 min, which would produce a ?low-aerobic? environment.
