Abstract :
Tomato is one of the most consumed vegetables in the world, second only to potatoes. Somebody call it a fruit, but in the agribusiness it is treated as a vegetable. This paper aims to show the competitive advantages and value created by a process of treatment - the ozonation - in tomato during storage logistic postharvest. These advantages have been verified by carrying out a physical-chemical in samples of tomato Deborah varieties from sector vegetable farmer in Porto Velho - RO and a survey of tomato traders in the region. At first, tomatoes were brought to the laboratory of biochemistry at São Lucas College, separated into two groups: a test and a control. Tomatoes from the test group were exposed to a continuous flow of ozone at a concentration of about 1 ppm (vol / vol), 25 ° C ± 3 ° C temperature and 85% ± 10% relative humidity for 24 hours inside a chamber treatment. Then both groups were stored in the laboratory for 14 days. During the storage period were evaluated for physical and chemical conditions such as weight loss, color, senescence, injury, levels of pH and levels of vitamin C.
