MERCHANTABILITY OF EGG-PLANT, PEPPER SWEET AND TOMATO IS AT TERMS OF SHORT-TERM STORAGE

Abstract

Article is devoted to the establishment the optimal duration of short-term storage o f eggplant growing of Almaz and Helios varieties degree of technical maturity, sweet pepper growing of Novohohoshary variety of different ripeness degrees and tomato growing of Iskorka variety; determination of commodity and quality indexes during storage in the conditions of depository without cooling and refrigerator. Experimental part of work is executed during 2007-2009 in the conditions of laboratory o f department o f technology of storage and processing of grain, educational-scientifically-productive department Uman NUH.Duration of short-term storage of garden-stuffs of eggplant of eggplant growing of Almaz and Helios varieties, pepper sweet and tomato in a refrigerator presents a 15 twenty-four hours, that answers recommendations of standards on fresh raw material.Influence of storage conditions of fruit vegetables in storage without refrigeration for their quality and length of life. The duration of short-term storage of fruit eggplant, sweet pepper and tomato in storage without cooling is reduced by 20% compared with storage in the refrigerator and is 12 days.The size of losses and waste during storage is influenced by various factors such as internal and, external. To include those internal biological mechanisms that shape properties of vegetables, external - terms and conditions. Absolute care is a result of trauma, lesions o f bacterial, fungal diseases, damage to functional disorders and weight loss - due to respiration of fruits and moisture loss.During refrigeration storage output of standard products for eggplant - 89-93% advantage of the variety Helios, sweet pepper - 84-89% of biological advantage degree o f ripeness, tomatoes - 89-91%. In storage without cooling rate of standard products is reduced to 81-92%.Value of standard products and a lack of technical fruits of eggplant, sweet pepper and tomato during storage in storage without refrigeration is 11-53:1, while in the fridge - 14-42:1, and standard products and absolute care in accordance 18-47:1 and 28-82:1. The level o f technical and absolute lack of care during storage in storage without refrigeration is respectively 1,7-7,6% and 1,9-4,7%, while in the fridge - 2,2-6,4%, respectively, and 1,0-3,1%.
