Abstract
Tomatoes at breaker and pink stage maturities were coated with corn-ze in film. Color, weight and firmness changes and sensory quality were c ompared with noncoated tomatoes during storage at 21 degrees C. Corn-z ein film delayed color change and loss of firmness and weight during s torage. Shelf life was extended by 6 days with film coatings as determ ined by sensory evaluation.
