Author(s): Mohamed Yusuf
Abstract: Cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme) are highly valued for their flavour, nutritional content, and versatility in culinary applications. However, their high perishability presents significant challenges for post-harvest handling, storage, and transportation. This review explores the impact of various post-harvest treatments on the fruit firmness and shelf life of cherry tomatoes. The focus is on physical, chemical, and biological treatments, examining their mechanisms, efficacy, and practical applications. Key findings from recent studies are synthesized to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these treatments can enhance the quality and longevity of cherry tomatoes, offering insights for future research and practical applications in the agricultural and food industries.
